Why not say since you became conscious of facts electricity has never been stable that will sound better. Those of us conscious of facts then know the difference

Electricity has never been constant in Nigeria since i know what electricity is. If the headline on this paper is correct it means nepa wasnt constant during GMBs brutal regime.

That is the mistake you guys make, IBB did not conceive the 3rd mainland bridge it was only completed during his 8 year tenure. the bridge was started in the 1970's fact. It was almost finished by the time IBB took power. For you to be asking about what mess Shagari created betrays your young age and lack of understanding of that time, but i will help you.

Due to sudden crash of oil prices, Shagari's government could not sustain it's profligate spending profile and looting scams perpetrated by the guy someone earlier accused Buhari of kidnapping from the UK to face justice (good the kidnap victim was a muslim or some will again cite evidence of hatred for Christian).

Rather that cut the wasteful spending, the Shagari government decided to borrow to finance the massive consumption, importing all manner of consumables. then industries could not source foreign exchange to buy raw materials. Hoarding of goods became the order of the day as prices became unstable. Nigeria could not honour it;s payment obligations for this loans as oil oil prices crashed further and it was unwilling to cut government overhead and other frivolous expenses. Drugs and essential commodities were scarce as industries could not buy raw materials. Shagari introduced austerity measures that were belated and hardly cut on government waste and spending on frivolities.

Since the government had nothing to campaign with for a second term like the current government, it resorted to financial inducement and buying of votes leading to political crisis, looting, arson and rioting in many states. This kind of spending on election further depleted government's ability to meet it's basic obligations.

The only way to change a Shagari govt that is incompetent is through ballot box and not barrel of gun. So no excuse will sink. Since Shagari spearheaded all these you mentioned why then did GMB give him house arrest and send his deputy to prison? That doesnt sound logical. Maybe you can give an insight.

Ovamboland:
Epic fail, when Abacha's son pitched his tent with Buhari's party CPC and sought Kano governorship ticket, he was denied mainly because he failed the integrity test. He had to run into the waiting arms of PDP/GEJ who has since discharged him from all corruption cases and left huge loots in his hands and will be contesting as governor on the platform of your preferred party.

Abachas son failed integrity test set by Buhari while his father that is the head of state passed the same integrity test according to GMB. hahahahaha una go kill person here ooh

Ovamboland:
Nigeria's debt accumulated by Shagari was been payed and almost liquidated before IBB struck
Nigeria stopped been a drug carrier and traffiking haven
He accelerated the construction of Shiroro Dam
He ensured Naira was not devalued and stronger than the dollar, IBB accepted SAP/IMF and we are here today
He ensured fuel was supplied from only local refineries without any importation and without awarding any politician expensive TAM contracts and accelerated the construction of 2nd PH refinery
As Federal commissioner of petroleum he supervised the construction and commissioning of Warri & kaduna refineries, the PDP government of Obsanjo/Yardua, Jonathan for 16 years has not scratched the ground to build anything like that
As PDTF chairman the money was used for tangible projects some still visible today and most generally acknowledge the fund was judiciousluy used, what has Jonathan done with 32.3 Naira x 45 million liters daily for the past 2 years since subsidy was reduced?

NB:
He was Head of state for 20 months

Lol at shiroro dam, shiroro started work in 1990 remember.

There was never a time when electricity was constant Huh? So power supply in GMB's days was d same as it is now
Abacha was corrupt but it wasnt GMB's call to prosecute him.. I didn't hear him say that verbally but the whole world saw GEJ on national TV make that statement.
In comparison to GMB, how many corrupt politicians have gone to jail? How many have been pardoned? How many have been honoured by GEJ
So, why didn't GEJ tell us he won't fix d refineries during his campaign? I'm tired of hearing statements like- "Good luck inherited d rot". If u can't fix it, why contest and give people false hopes?
Buhari fixed d mess he inherited from Shagari, didn't he GEJ added to d ones he inherited. Thats d difference!

Power supply can not be the same as other factors are not the same. Mind you am not saying GEJ perfomance is spot on, all am saying is GMB is not better. As corrupt as IBB was he gave us 3rd mainland bridge, what structure can you point at today to remember GMB in Nigeria?. GMB can send anybody to jail cos he has the absolute power as millitary dictator, GEJ cannot do that and GMB cannot do same if he become president again. So you guys should use your brain. In a sane country Atiku, GMB,GEJ,OBJ, IBB, TINUBU and 1000s of them should be langushing in jail but in Nigeria they are all king makers. So tell will GMB send Atiku, obj, ibb, tinubu and GEJ to jail when he win? Imposible so nothing changes who ever win btw the two of them. What mess did buhari inherit from shagari and what mess did he fix, can you name one pls.

Ovamboland:
And what should we do with the one who pardoned his son with over 400 Bn Naira breathing in his account and is set to handover Kano state governorship ticket of his party to this same Abacha's son?

Both of them are the same. Saying that Abacha is not corrupt means he can as well pardon him if he Abacha is still alive and GMB is the president. So if you want to campaign for GMB go ahead but dont rub it in on us that he is not corrupt. All the politicians in Nigeria are corrupt bar none. All nigerians are corrupt bar none.

GEJ pardoned corrupt Abachas son, GMB dissociates ABACHA from all corruption. So what is the difference btw the two?

Aloralord1:
During Buhari's time-my cousins didn't walk d streets of Lagos looking for jobs after graduation.
Power supply was constant.
The naira was very strong
There were working refineries.
Corrupt politicians were put behind bars.
My dad even wasn't interested in extending his stay in d UK cos d country was WORKING.
Inflation rate was low.
I remember vividly well. Let's start d comparison!

There was never a time when electricity was constant in Nigeria. So use another line. Refinaries stopped working even before GEJ became Deputy Gov. Some people still don't extend their stay in UK as at today so its your dads choice.

You still never tell us why your GMB said Abacha is not corrupt. From your own point of view Is Abacha Corrupt?

Aloralord1:
Buhari didn't condone corruption when he was head of state- FACT.
Jonathan celebrates, rewards and defends corruption - FACT!
The difference is clear!
Keep quoting what puts GMB in bad light but can u counter the above FACTS?

You are one funny dude, Ok you want me to quote what put him in good light? I am only repeating what he said and that is no crime just as you are quoting what you assume that will make people not to vote GEJ.

Abacha is not corrupt is the same as saying stealing is not corruption. Abacha stole fact. that is why GMB said he was not corrupt. So GEJ and GMB are saying the same thing.

Gbawe:
Bro, don't let these charlatans fool you into conceding what is not even the case. They do not know the sort of loan Buhari obtained and the terms. Rightly so because Buhari does not have to explain such to anyone even as a lot of Nigerians like to overstep their boundaries and disregard limts of intrusion into the affair of others. Talks of 'collateral' is entirely misplaced because it stands to reason that Buhari obtained an unsecured loan. Worldwide, it continues to remain the case that a collateral is not required for an unsecured loan. Should Buhari then have to come out to explain the terms of his personal loan to Nigerians? Which of us is obliged to do this? Abeg some folks could go and sleep if they are jobless. This desperate attempt to paint Buhari black, with ignorant and pedestrian insinuations, is amusing to say the least.

No financial house will give £90000 pounds unsecured loan. Unsecured loan get limit.

Aloralord1:
Let us not sell our future for stipends; the truth is NO country can move forward by being ruled by a man who says stealing is not corruption. He can't even fire a man who is responsible for the sham recruitment by the immigration service.
Power has reduced, corruption has increased and security isn't assured and some 'normal' Nigerians are shouting GEJ till 2019 I hereby throw my weight behind the BUHARI VANGUARD.. I grew up in a military base and I know him well so dont feed me with fake negative news about him.. Shey Na like this we go dey go

So we should elect the person who said that ABACHA is not corrupt.

How come white people survive ebola while it kill black people.

onatisi:
I won't be surprised if some politicians are behind the new hostilities. Why is this issue rearing up its head ,just some few months to elections .

thought politics can never bring problem between Yorubas.

darne:
This is crap,.... Buhari's name shouldn't be in that list,.. it should be GEJ Instead because I have never really seen anyone so corrupt since abacha's but this so called fresh air messiah smh Nigerians should wake up

Really, but Your Buhari said Abacha was never corrupt. It seem you and GMB defines corruption differently.

Nice combo with shakaru as Senate president corruption will be history and jihadism will be the new corruption.

Sai GMB/FASH/SHAKARU.

BetaThings:
Is this judge aware that the NATIONAL CHRISTMAS TREE was paid for by government money

This is a lesson on those calling Igbos to vacate from lagos.

Obiagelli:
Of course Okorocha will make a fantastic vp and president but can he bring votes from Enugu, abia, anambra, ebonyi? That is the question. Election is about numbers my brother

in that case we should chose a non performer cos he can bring vote from all corners of the country.

Gbawe: Is it not time you guys talking of "Fashola for 2015" face the reality of your own country for god sake? Why continue to talk as if Nigeria is the most sophisticated democracy in the world with the most discerning and refined electorate when the reality is that your people are unashamedly ethnocentric, highly prejudiced, currently very divided plus religiously and sectionally biased?

Present Fashola and the North will be largely apathetic. If you are from the SW do you think SW votes alone will defeat the "consensus candidate" of the PDP i.e Jonathan? If from the North, do you think the North, given all that has happened, is currently in the mood to vote for a ticket without a Northern Presidential candidate? If you are from the SS and SE do you want to fool yourself that many of your folks will vote Fashola instead of GEJ? You guys go on, without any pragmatism whatsoever, about Fashola for President without realising that the reality of your nation means you are asking the APC to commit suicide doing this.

It is not about the APC being "sincere". Fashola is a treasured and important member of the Party. He will play a very important part now or in the future. What the APC will not do is foolishly heed the "present Fashola and I will vote for APC" blackmail noise common to Nigerians from the SE and SS when the world knows many are already 100% committed to voting for Jonathan. Face the reality of your nation. Doing so will allow you all to tell the truth and shame the devil. Anyone really interested in the defeat of the PDP will see and focus on what can achieve that and not tout some pipe dream the reality on the ground can never achieve.

So the only reason you and APC don't want fashola is because you people don't want the north to be apathetic. How shameful is this comment. Please the north at the expense of Nigeria. Again if you assume that Nigerian democracy is not sophisticated why blame the non performing elected officials, why not leave them cos the democracy is not sophisticated enough for them to perform. As far as am concerned Fashola is the only person that can challenge GEJ. Sympathy nomination of Buhari makes the election a one way ride for Jonathan.
