To ensure that Nigeria remained respectable on the international business world, Buhari committed to honoring Nigeria’s debt payment schedule irrespective of the limited earning potential of Nigeria. In August 1984, Buhari was on one of his meet-the-people nationwide tours, which he began as soon as the administration got on its feet. Everywhere he went, the people embraced him, coming out en mass and ushering him tumultuous cheers and unreserved applause.

kingoflag: May the Almighty God, who is in charge of the future and well being of the innocent children, not allow you and anyone else that chooses to tell lies and ignore the truth---- because of the evil in ur heart caused by tribalism and bigotry--- ever see peace or achieve any kind of success in life until u start telling the truth. Amen. This is the prayer I will start asking the lord for bas*tards such as urselves because I am sick and tired of people like you. You deserve to die horrible deaths because you do not mind condemning innocent people to their deaths for ur own myopic reasons. Imagine the crap u just put up there. If u were in front of me, after headbutting u, I would then go ahead and wring ur scrawny neck. He fraternized with Abacha? Oh yeah? Ok, that's one man, do u mind telling us who GEJ fraternizes with you im*becile? What's wrong with two Muslims being in charge if they are qualified? Ehn, tell me you piece of sh*it whose generations was destined for poverty? I repeat again, people like you deserve to die horrible deaths. This is why I hope that country splits because every side has a different moral code. . . . You guys are freaking disgusting. The mere fact that you can't see the truth and speak it tells it all about your kind. I can understand how you would want to act with so much violence against somebody with a contrary opinion...afterall your mentor is a solid advocate for violence...if it doesnt happen my way...then there must be blood shed...and you dont seem to have any problem with that..... go through my list one by one and tell me which is not true DaLover: |

austin2002: Because the Biafrans, Yorubas,Delta people. All Educated Southern and Eastern people are tired of being ruled by cattle rearers and carmel pushers from the north.These devils have destroyed our way of living and it's time you guys go back where you guys come from afterall cattle rearers from the north do not belong to that land if we open up the history book. Look at what is going on these so called religion of peace.Yep for sure it's the religion peace. The so called Northerners have had their own share of the government and they never knew how to handle it because you cannot expect a cattle rearer to lead no matter what. You put an illiterates in the office for 50yrs what do you expect? They only thing they know how to handle well are dunkey,sheep, cow,carmel etc,I now get it. You have exchange a cattle rearer (a sin) for a fisherman and now everything is heaven? It seems the same to meeeeeeee!!!!!! except that one is familiar with grazing grass and the other float on water. By the way when you speak about Biafrans I do hope you are speaking for yourself? |

[size=18pt]Buharinomics - General Buhari’s economic program marshaled out to salvage the nation in 1984 (- - - continued part3)[/size] In one of his speeches to the people (this one in Owerri), he reiterated Nigeria’s commitment to honoring its debts, the dire economic situation notwithstanding. "The task of this administration is how to persuade Nigerians to understand that for a number of years to come, we would be paying debts, the roads may be long and thorny but we believe that on our shoulders lies the responsibility to save our fatherland from devastation that has resulted from mismanagement" (Newswatch, February 18, 1985). Buhari could not have been any more correct in his statement above. Assuming Nigeria took no further loans, its breakdown of loan repayments was as follows: 3.9 billion naira ($4.4 billion) in 1985, 3.7 billion naira ($4.19 billion) in 1986, 2.8 billion naira ($3.2 billion) in 1987, until a decrease to 703 million in 1991 (Concord Weekly, May 6, 1985). Nigeria’s precarious financial situation made it impossible for it to finance capital projects and meet up its balance of payment obligations. With oil export pegged at 1.3 million barrels per day by OPEC, borrowing from external sources became necessary. To this effect, Nigeria proposed borrowing 1.795m naira to finance its capital project from the IMF. The patriotism with which General Buhari handled Nigeria’s dealings with the IMF was the highlight and beauty of Buharinomics. In order to qualify for the loan, IMF gave Nigeria certain conditions which must be met. In 1984 when the naira exchanged for $1.34, the IMF demanded a minimum of 60% devaluation of it. Buhari refused, agreeing only to a "crawling peg"—a mechanism whereby government would realign the currency gradually, forestalling or minimizing economic and social dislocations because of such drastic devaluation of its currency. In addition to the devaluation of the naira, IMF demanded that government took other drastic actions: (a) The government must remove its subsidy on petroleum. (b) It must curtail its expenditure. (c) Government must rationalize its tariff structures. (d) It must put a freeze on its wages. (e) It must put a total end of non-statutory transfers to State governments, (f) Government must at least institute a 30% raise on interest rates—government resisted this because the decline in its revenue earnings and its debt obligations made it almost impossible to raise interest rates without triggering inflation (West Africa, May 14, 1984).

GenBuhari: I do not see how educating people is a bad thing, whether you consider it spamming or not, it is still informative. It is definately a necessity in a forum where there is a lot of lies and confusion being spread, and where the majority of people are too young to know the truth.That not education and I don't think I need any education from you. Stop posting this spams, its difficult to deal with, and its counter productive to what I knew you honestly wants to achieve by posting them, Can I say that I despise them? I will rather you put the links. |

Eziachi, You do not need the education, because you were an adult during Buhari's reign. Can you say the same for most Nairalanders? Do you realise that 80% of the people on this forum do not cannot distinguish between the truth and the numerous lies that are spread? |

DaLover:Stop spreading this misinformation unless you had been on holiday to jupiter, if not you didn't hear Jonathan saying that there is Boko Haram in his cabinet? Bamanga Tukur saying that Boko Haram were fighting for justice? The Ndume guy on trial now for sponsoring Boko Haram is a PDP bigwig? How does Buhari feature here? What are these PTDF majority projects and you said he situated them in the north but not in his personal foreign bank account? When the same kind of money was given to the likes of Ibori, your felow saintly southerner, he situated nothing anywhere but situated into his pocket, buying himself nice houses/cars all over the world. Buhari is still living in his own pension built small house in Daura. Tribal bigotry blind most of you to notice the difference between white and black. I am not a supporter of Buhari but it makes me weep for Nigeria people are so blind and used by the wicked/careless political elite to spread untruthfulness against this man. He may has his fault, I don't know, but most of the stuff said against him are not just lies but wickedness. Nigerians, you really do know how to love your real enemies with passion. |

Just post the link, if they want to learn, they can follow the link. Anyway, educating Nigerians, especially the wasted masses, is like wasting a precious diamond on a pig, they will still go back to what they are comfortable with- lies and to be lied to, deceit, tribalism and inconsistency. Unless you enjoy wasting your precious time, then carry on Sir. |

Eziachi: Buhari features here because he has the support of the almajiri, and if he mobilises them, they will root out the boko harem,...but he prefers to be quiet, and see how boko harem will chase away GEJ so he can control the oil resources....I have not seen how spectacularly he is handling CPC, or the states and LGAs he controls...he want to be president and the lives that are lost don't matter....what matters is to get his hands on the oil money...by hook or crook |

Re: Why Is Everybody Afraid Of Buhari's Presidency by Eziachi: 5:09pm On Jun 19, 2012 |
DaLover:Ethnicity, tribal lineage and face facts, you will be in a real mind set when you finally figure out your real enemies. What does the word almajiri means? Boko Haram was there when Yar Adua was in-charge. Wasn't it? Jonathan claimed to be with Boko Haram inside the same cabinet (His own claim, not mine) Jonathan claim to know the sponsors. Boko Haram is equal PDP, so its dog eat dog. Its PDP /boko haram that is chasing him away. CPC is a political party and not limited liability company of Buhari. What are about the lives lost in Akwa Ibom during the same election period? Who is responsible? How many lives and property lost? Still people like you seem to pick and choose lost lives that suits propaganda project of owners of Nigeria. Wake up! And stop being a slave to project one Nigeria by the elite and for the elite. |
Re: Why Is Everybody Afraid Of Buhari's Presidency by DaLover(m): 5:15pm On Jun 19, 2012 |
Eziachi: Stop beating around the bush... With the ground level support Buhari claims to have in the north...can he mobilise popular sentiment of the average hausa-fulani man against the boko harem scourge or not? I believe he can...but because he wants his hands on the oil money...he wont...you are the one viewing things from a myiopic point of view. |
Re: Why Is Everybody Afraid Of Buhari's Presidency by Eziachi: 5:26pm On Jun 19, 2012 |
DaLover:The same guy you claimed Jonathan beat or ran neck to neck in the north? Is he the commander in chief of the armed forces or the chief security officer as they are called? Is majority of the governors, senators, reps and big wings from north not all PDP? You still consider it Buhari's job to stop Boko Haram? on what ground? The same man you claimed to be weak in govt, now you want him to act as tiger outside power and stopBoko Haram for you bare-handed? That is what is beating about the bush means and inconsistency. Jonathan/PD/inec claimed he won many parts of north including Buhari own backyard in Katsina, so let Jonathan mobolize that millions that voted for him in the north. Or are they all dead? Free your self from this slavish mentality and use your God's given brain and not tribal or sectional laden brain. 2 Likes |

[size=18pt]Buharinomics - General Buhari’s economic program marshaled out to salvage the nation in 1984 (- - - continued part 4)[/size] The Nigerian government and veteran economists in Nigeria (like Aluko, Onosade, Okigbo, etc) could not make sense of being asked to devalue its currency when Nigeria’s imports were in dollar and its export (fixed quantity of oil) was also in dollar. The implication of devaluation was that Nigeria would pay more to import lesser quantity of goods than it did prior to any devaluation. It would also export the same amount of oil it exported before any devaluation and derive lesser revenue than it received before any devaluation The impacts of it debt payment would have harsher effect on the citizenry if the naira was devalued. This did not make any economic sense to Buhari; it struck him as an insult on the intelligence of the African. Finance Minister Onaolapo Soleye and Alhaji Abubakar Alhaji who led the Nigerian delegation to the last negotiation in Washington were chewed out by US Federal Reserve Chairman, Paul Volcker, for presenting the Nigerian governments rejection of most of these recommendations. For rejecting the IMF conditions and the loan, the Buhari administration got into the black book of Washington. Already, it had earned the dislike of 10 Downing Street for cutting down Nigeria’s imports from the UK by about 350%. In any case, without the IMF loan, government was still in a bind as to how to finance capital projects and pay for imports, especially spare parts for local industries, food items, etc. At this juncture, the genius and resourcefulness of Buharinomics illuminated to the delight of the African. First, the administration sent Oil Minister Tam David West to OPEC to seek a raise in the quantity of oil that Nigeria could export. If OPEC agreed, Nigeria would expect to generate extra revenue in the long run from any increase of its oil quota and this would assist tremendously in augmenting the shortfall in the nation’s purse. Professor West came back empty handed—the US and Britain had put pressure on their puppets in OPEC (like Saudi Arabia) to refuse Nigeria’s request.
