This man is a VERY BIG THIEF. Goodluck promised him he would succeed him then they went on a looting Sprey. Making him dole out funds to politicians of all parties was a way of buying influence for the So koto prince . I am sorry SE / SS youths, your hero Goodluck is a very useless, corrupt and clueless opportunity water.
If you guys don't condemn him God himself has already done it

luvprince4real:
bcus d economy now depend on d #50 stolen from masses bank account. Even a jobless youth whose broda sent money to feed himself will also forfiet his #50. Wake up nigerians

We have woken up to the fact that Jonathan and PDP ruined the future of youths. There is a range of palliatives coming for the poor the likes of which has not been seen before in Nigeria.
As for militants and Ipod or Ipad, they will become target practice for the military. Do not say you have not been warned

M4gunners:
Hehehe 2016 is already getting hot and funny. Baba how did you end up here . It's obvious people want to make Nigeria ungovernable for you . Could this be a payback?

The only difference being that this ONE has lots of bullets and he does not mind wiping belligerent people out. Please don't complain when reaction comes. Let us see how things play out.

Pidggin:
Why steal from the masses to fund the economy? Is there any country that uses this method to generate revenue, what happened to the tax and Vat we pay, is it not enough strain on people's purses already?

Most countries have multiplicity of taxes. Nigeria is one of the most under taxed country in the world. In the UK , if you earn above £80000 , government will take £35000 from it. You will still pay vat and home taxes. The only reason there is corruption in Nigeria is that people don't pay enough tax. If you paid enough tax even if Goodluck was your uncle you would barricade is house and ask for him to be arrested.

Xano:
Interesting

With all you wrote, you are wrong and also the President. It is a Gorilla warfare not conventional.

Calling it Gorilla warfare has betrayed your ignorance. Why are we even discussing this?. Very few people know this thing more than the President who made an accurate statement and ignorant products of Nigeria's faulty post independence educational system are playing intellectual. What rubbish.

naija8080:
Trouble dey...serious one!

They are very small boys. You just watch.

omolami:
Says ability of bokoharam to conduct conventional war has been defeated. The question here is has bokoharam ever carried out conventional war in their attack since inception?
Its like someone is confused as to differentiate between gorrilla and conventional warfare. Go school you no gree.

You are the one that is ignorant. Like most young Nigerian s now you don't apply yourself to study and think.

The failure of Boko Haram was fighting a CONVENTIONAL war against the Nigerian Army. They were seizing towns and villages using fast vehicles. That is conventional warfare.
They seized more than five LGAs and declared a Republic. That is conventional warfare and that is why they are losing because they cannot beat a conventional force like the NA at that. They became vulnerable to airstrikes and cutting of lines of supply
The president was merely stating the obvious which has been discussed extensively in knowledgeable circles in Nigeria.
It behoves you to research things well and study before posting on line.

OVI75:
How can the. North continue to lead us.does this country rey belong to dem,,(_hausas)?

This is extremely STUPID, completely ignorant and low IQ.
Obasanjo practically handed over to Jonathan. Yaradua barely did 2 years. So the North has been out of power for more than 16 years. It is very important to think at a high level and stop being childish.

Herald47:
This man is overrated by the yorubas.he claimed to have won the civil war and everyone believed him before gen.isama came and exposed all his lies.if he was a fearless man he wouldn't have yielded to the pressure mounted on him by the northerners in 1979,he should have stood his ground like IBB.he tried to mess up with abacha,abacha threw him and his cohorts into prison without wasting time.he tried to create a third term for himself but the senates frustrated him.if he tries rubbish with pmb,pmb will personally deal with him without hesitation.a man who has ruled for 11years without achieving any tangible thing for his people.

Very silly statement.
The Yoruba tribe is the only tribe that does not revere or respect Obj.
You guys are too simple minded about Yorubas.
Obasanjo repeatedly lost his own ward in Abeokuta as President. Afenifere used to describe him as a man "made of very inferior materials ".
Core Yorubas have never forgiven him for denying Awolowo the Presidency. Fela Kuti, Afenifere, OPC, major Yoruba Obas, Ganiyu Fawehinmi , Tinubu and major state governments in the Yoruba area are amongst those who have opposed Obasanjo and won.
Even in his own family , Obj met and endured opposition from his wives and children.

If you don't understand complex things and complex people then keep quiet instead of simplifying. This is not spare parts selling.

abe4kom:
A full inventory of the arms and equipment acquired by GEJ will surprise many.

At the appropriate time the truth will come out.
For national security reasons, not all your defsec assets are disclosed to the public.

Allow the politicians to do their shenanigans, that's why they are politicians while the military do what they know best how to do.

Bullshit.
Hundreds of people are following Nigeria's military acquisitions. The truth is that Jonathan just allowed Generals to chop because of the fear of coup or just general ineffectual buffoonery tendencies. The money we have spent if judiciously applied would have made Nigeria to be as powerful as Egypt or Iran. Unfortunately all we see are mansions in a Abuja and houses abroad belonging to Generals and politicians

A few third rate awards from state governments and obscure 'institutes' is now global league abI?. Jonathan's supporters won't stop abusing their patron.

himkers:
Ok


Spirits of nairaland.


But wait o! Is it only pdp people that chopped and looted Nigeria money?

YES !!!!

Do Ghanaian policemen collect bribes openly on the streets, NO.
There are very few countries as corrupt as Nigeria.

General Muhammed is on the Naira note because of the things he did as Head of State for less than two years, Aguiyi IronsI is NOT on the Naira note for the necessary things he did NOT do as military leader and Head of State. Go figure.

Thank God for this Buhari government. God thank you that you are exposing us to ourselves.

This President is SWITCHED ON. Cluelessness has disappeared from Nigerian leadership for ever. In case you missed it, BDC's are mostly owned by northerners, yet Buhari is saying they should will not be subdized by government corrupt agencies and employees to weaken the Naira again. CHANGE is truly here

MagicBishop:
Saudi Arabia will never cut output now that Iran is back in the game.

Prior to lifting of sanctions on Iran, the Saudis were pumping out more oil that is required in order to compete against US Shale oil. For Shale Oil to be profitable at the current technology being utilised to harness it, conventional crude must be expensive for it to compete.

Now that Iran is back in the game, the Saudis will pump more into the market to stall or slow Iranian economic development.

The Saudis are committing economic suicide to hurt Iran.

At first they pumped more into the market on the behest of the US to hurt Russian mono economy which is by and large dependent on crude exports to Europe.

I don't see the Saudis cutting now given the tensions with Tehran.

The only advantage the Saudis have is their huge external reserves which they are drawing from to offset lower earnings from oil sales.

In 3mths time I expect crude prices to fall well below the $20 mark.

Saudi Arabia has invested wisely in petrochemicals. That is their real joker. They are leading the world now in the production of ten key petrochemical products. The petrochemicals business thrives on low oil prices. When you look at things you will hate Nigeria and a President like Goodluck who could not build refineries not to talk of petrochemicals. Every unemployed young person or out of job worker should know now who to blame. Nigeria was making 2 million x $124 × 365 X 0.8 dollars per year in 2012/2013, where is all the money

grandstar:
Buhari has been in charge ever since he assumed power. The ban of 41products from accessing the CBN was his idea.

The refusal to devalue was also his idea. Before he assumed power, Emefiele had allowed the naira to depreciate.

The CBN is no longer independent and Emefiele is simply s selfish careerist whose career is more important than the economy.

Emefiele was okay until Buhari got there

So you support devaluation. That is very very stupid.
Buhari is not in office because of rich people and traders . He is in office to FORCE CHANGE. NigerIa is the most blessed country on earth. Let us stop importing blindly. Let genuine , creative and resourceful people arise out of this trouble to change the way we do business. Bloomberg does not have more interest in Nigeria than us Nigerians.

chubhiee:
Propaganda can not sustain this administration. We can't be distracted while the economy is already crippled. We demand change not chains and more propaganda from Buhari and Apc.

Please try to use your BRAINS. There were more than a thousand words in that article which was actually critical of some Buhari policies. Only a few lines were devoted to Jonathan .
The whole point of the article was to persuade Buhari to take some economic policies and not to insult Jonathan. If only one sentence is the thing rankling you guys then maybe it is true that Jonathan really is an ineffectual buffoon

bezimo:
I know we have our issues here in Nigerua but I wont tolerate the use of denigrative words on our president past or present.
What a thrashy and relevance seeking idoits called economist. I follow global news papers but didnt even know the economist existed.

You did not know Economist existed?. This is very sad.
When Nigeria was Nigeria, Time magazine, Newsweek and Economist were on sale at every new stand. Economist is very high brow.Maybe the rise of news on soctal media sites has affected that. The language they use has not changed and they don't call anybody by their titles

emamos:
.He must refund with interest ni o

This is actually wrong. The man should go to trial .

cktheluckyman:
They tell us equipments were not bought yet Buhari keeps "winning" the war on boko haram accprding to Mr liar Mohammed.I wonder if it is bow and arrows they are using to tackle boko haram

Who told you Buhari has not bought equipment in the short time he came? There have been at least two different rounds of procurements if what we are hearing is anything to go by. You guys just harp on a lie and roll with it anyhow.

Jonathan had six years and was so late to procure equipment for the military that some of them have not even arrived and the generals have stoken unbelievable sums of money.

The Nigerian Airforce is a high mess now because he put the wrong people in charge.

lofty900:
it's a lie. I'm from rivers state but although wike has tried, it can't be compared to what Willie obiano of anambra has done so far

Wike only tried because of the shakiness of his seat. He borrowed heavily to do roads. The state is in long term debt now.

IyaIode:
Chai Apc scam, they had claimed all refineries were back few weeks ago, i bow for this government

This is not APC scam. Nigeria is a very dumb country with the most un educated people on earth. That is why you can say something without thinking about it.
The problem is competence of engineers running the refineries. If I were Buhari I will sack 75% of refinery staff and get Indian management and engineers for the refineries. The Indian companies will be paid on reliability, technical integrity and days run without shutdown.
Nigerians are have become slack, brain dead and incompetent due to the clueless days of PDP rule. Ordinary Jamaicans, Siwrra Leonians, Ethiopians and Sudanese can run refineries why can't we?

GworoChewinMaga:
They did not win.

The results coming in from the north were all fabricated.

Jonathan conceded because there were security reports of a plan to instigate widespread riots in the north and SW if Jonathan won or contested the results outcome.

The US govt also threatened to back the opposition and not to recognize Jonathan as duly elected leader thereby leading to a parallel govt.

This is why the APC announced months before the election that they will form a parallel govt if they did not win the election.

Arm twisting, blackmail, and threat to national security especially in the north was how they got to power.

Their propaganda was limited to their regions (SW and North) and from the results we see that the SS and SE did not buy into their scam.

The results coming from Anambra, Ebonyi, Rivers, Bayelsa and Delta were not fabricated of course.

OLADD:
Nigeria can't afford trial by error at this particular time.

What is feasibility again?.
It will encourage school enrollment. It will save funds for parents. It will boost the agricultural sector by as much as 15% growth every year. It will increase GDP. It will allow farmers develop SCALE that they can leverage to become exporters. It will boost the service sector - school meal kitchens. It will increase employment.

I just hate it when people pretend. The school meals is justified in one thousand ways. Only a clueless follower of PDP and a pretender will say it does not work. Big English meaning ZERO.
Buzz words adding up to NONSENSE.

Akpabio is very corrupt but this story is a BIG LIE.
Akpabio will eventually end up in prison but not if fake stupidly exaggerated stories are bandied about.

Super1Star:
Can he even have anything tangible to say,apart from stealing is not corruption and the yam and goat analogy.


The truth is what can the Drunken Master of Otuoke have to say, that will not indict him.

Jonathan will get himself and his people into trouble with every word in every sentence he makes. He is the most direspected president in history by his own people. This is because he never really worked or deserved the office and never trully respected that office.

joborskill:
Pot abusing kettle. Refund 16billion dollars power fund first before blabbing. Grand father of corruption

The man has said the truth . If you don't agree with him and you support the legislators say so. Their budget for less than 2000 people is more than three quarters of the states with millions of people.

I guess Jonathan is your hero only young dances who count Jonathan hero post these kinds of trash.

Progressive01:
I must admit the man's got taste!! Damn! Those houses are beautiful.

EFCC just dey para like say those politicians sleep with Magu wife. Shoo!!!

Sai Magu, President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria (2031 - 2039) !!

That may not be all. God forgive me but I heard about five star hotel associated with the same Ihejirika guy. This is the problem that people are giving us in this country.
It is sad if Buhari is the only man who says the truth amongst the elite on Nigeria. Everybody stealing and people supporting them because of tribal cleavages .

Bitterleafsoup:
Its almost 1 year and plenty probing and not one conviction or trial why?

Metuh is NO 1 then some judges will follow. After that it will be quick jailing
