so u think because oil is $106, Nigeria will automatically become heaven?

Some of u, when ur parents made their first N1m, mark zuckerberg wasn't even born.
They probably saw money before Otedola sef.

Only those who plant a seed today, will get a tree in the next 20yrs.
Imagine when a party slogan is "PDP, chop the money", no good roads, no institution, no future planning, just steal and chop money.

Where do we plan to fall to when the money isn't there again?

You're talking about planting a tree... Have you ever heard of planting seasons

I doubt, because if you have, you'd know that whatever you plant in this Bubu era must surely die, no hating!

If you think otherwise, show me clear personal examples of what you planted when BuHARI came in and how same is faring now still under the same Buhari then we can settle this once and for all!!

Eat exactly is ur point. During GEJ era crude was not even upto $100 per barrel and u claimed his era was time of plenty. Abeg I don't do well with anything supporting Buhari so park

Crude was above 100 dollars per barrel under GEJ from 2011-14....and no, I am not lying or bashing him, I am just stating facts.

See below. Brent crude (blue line) is where you should be paying attention to. Texas intermediate matters only to the US market.

All were inspired by tribalism, Jide kosoko is a tribalist to the core , it have nothing to do with well being of Nigerians , I can assure that hunger have killed those urchins carrying the coffin with Jonathan written on it , let someone write Buhari’s name on a coffin today see what will happen to him, I blame obasanjo and awo who economically empowered their ppl at the expense of other Nigerians thereby giving them a false sense of grandeur and baseless superiority and they see everyone else as nothing , who is Jonathan and who are the igbos to challenge us in nigeria , that kind of thinking is what is prevalent among these ppl and tell me how nigeria can be better place for all citizens .

Jonathan was a veryyyyyyyy wasteful leader. Yar'Adua was the leader who massively increased the foreign reserves. Please Jonathan didn't increase the foreign reserves. Instead, he was spending from it and still spending from the excess crude account.

Jonathan made Okonjo-Iweala look so horrible because while the woman was trying to convince governors to save for the country, Jonathan was giving instructions that the money be squandered.

That's why Amaechi and others insisted that the money be shared when Okonjo-Iweala was asking that we save the money.

Just like Buhari, Jonathan, a broke man from riverine Nigeria, saw billions of dollars in foreign reserves and forgot diversification he used to sing like a song.

However, I have to be fair to Jonathan because he was able to revive the railways - something that collapsed before he came in. At least I travelled from Enugu to Port Harcourt in one of the trains in 2014. He also built new universities and almajiri schools, and upgraded the airports.

Despite that, Jonathan was a mediocre leader and has no business being in leadership. Just before you think that I am an APC minion (because you people have senselessly divided the entire country into APC and PDP), Buhari is even worse.

Jonathan in time of plenty was wasteful.

As a business man, I know that the time of plenty is the time to plan for the future.

Nigeria case is lack of progressive leaders and tribalistic youths.
Lagos is what it is because of leaders that plan for the future.

Another blame game pointed at Jonathan! What happened to the government before Jonathan? They couldn’t plan? People from the West are always point fingers at others in other to make them look bad!

Lagos is the same Lagos, nothing has changed! Besides, Lagos was once the capital of Nigeria. To me Lagos is lagging behind its sister cities around Africa.

Why didn't the plenty disappear under Jonathan? As Jonathan sustained the plenty, what happened to the plenty after Jonathan?

Sustained high crude oil prices....

Buhari, meanwhile, had oil consistently below $70 until 3 weeks ago, when it reached 90 dollars for the first time in his regime...which is why his loan intake was much higher than GEJ.

That does not mean that Buhari is a good leader, it means that , faced with low oil prices, he should have taken measures to diversify, and cut subsides on petrol so that investment could flow in, and government saves money. He did the opposite.

And under GEJ, we would have had more money if he had been allowed to remove subsides. Instead Nigerians said no, and GEJ ended up spending money that could have been saved or invested in new refineries and repairing our exisiting refineries, on subsidy payments. And by 2015, we were in a big mess, plus GEJ owed a lot on subsidy payments, which Buhari took five years to pay up fully. (tHERE is a reason why GEJ wanted to remove subsdies.)

The value of N140 in 2012 is not the same as the N140 in 2022. Taking into consideration inflation ad other economic factors, Jonathan was most likely asking us to pay an equivalent of N350 per liter in today's money so the protest back then was justified


So the value of naira should keep decreasing every year? Is that what you are insinuating? Then you are not normal.
The value of 1USD is still the same till today from then till now. Go to United States and ask them.

To travel roads now,kidnappers and bandits everywhere.. Anyone supporting Buhari will loose the most valuable thing in his life and shed tears just as people are shedding everyday from loosing their loved ones to FULANI herdsmen, Bandits and ISWAP terrorists..

Now are calling on the crusaders of 2015 to rise up now to address the issue of fuel scarcity, high cost of living and ASUU STRIKE

Ur Otueke thief couldn't even build the mbiama bridge that leads to his state, I was on that bridge back in 2015 during heavy traffic along mbiama and the bridge was shaking like hell, I was scared it could collapse.
It was Buhari that had to rebuild a bridge leading to Bayelsa.
It will never be well with whoever supports GEJ

leadership will elude you in life for calling Jonathan Otueke thief. Now saints are ruling the nation. We know better!

We're all disappointed, our expectations was quite higher than this.

Meanwhile it doesn't make GEJ better than Buhari. That's just the fact, at least we're experiencing infrastructural development.

Is it because he built a train which we are using the majority of our national budget to repay?

We are experiencing "development" which is only good for taking pictures and fooling gullible people who never step out of their villages.

Part of the wasteage was due to subsidy. GEJ wanted to cut subsidy because it was too expensive , but Nigerians said no, so subsidy was basically a source of waste.

And still is.

How do you mean "time of plenty"? Why are Nigerians this gullible?
grin

What is the reason for borrowing, if I may ask?
Weren't the loans taken to mitigate revenue shortfall?
Are you aware that Buhari/APC has borrowed far more than Nigeria could ever earn in 5 years even if brent crude were to sell for $150/barrel?
For your information, this satanic APC government has within 7 years borrowed more than ALL previous Nigerian governments since independence combined! That humungous amount if not looted and mismanaged should be enough to keep us afloat even if we do not sell a single drop of oil in their first 5 years.

By the way, Brent Crude is currently selling at about $105/barrel.
Add that to the increased VAT, electricity tariff, customs duty, stamp duty charges on bank accounts, yet the economy keeps crashing daily.
