You dnt hv to go far, come to the north, the average hausa woman sees the man who allows her to work as being "wicked" and "lazy"...yet they are the ones who complain most when he gives them #50 for "kayan miya" (ingredients for soup)
Lmao. Ok na. That's why they will accept any rubbish to remain catered for.

Yes. Direct Income was increased. That's what I just said. And ease of retrieval plus consistency.
Federal workers in the past used to go on strike because of months unpaid wages. GEJ doesn't owe federal salaries

If madam ngozi is giving us voodoo statistics, then at least the rate of investors coming in should be proof.

Inflation rate didn't increase more than it was during the obasanjo tenure. Inflation is a bane of most developing societies so it will be present at certain levels so it wasn't excepted to decrease.
Yet he made minimum wage over 120% while inflation wasn't more than 50% if at all. Meaning he more than provided for the increase in prices.
That 7.5 k does not really have value more than the 18k now.
How? Did we experience 120% rate of inflation?

I'd personally like more increase but that is by the way.
Point is he took it into consideration more than his predecessors.

And Yep. He weeded the work force of ghost workers milking the nation dry of tax payers money.
Many billions were recovered by that means. Something other leaders over looked as long as they got their own share.

I don't have anything against OBJ as a leader even though he made probable worse mistakes than GEJ but he was the beginning of improvement for the average Nigerian family. So I give that to him.


Exhales.
I don't like arguing Nigerian politics.
Hope I addressed most of your points even though not in the order you raised them.


jaybee3:
Which of the reforms?
In lay man terms, did you receive more income as a direct result of the reform or it was more of the consistency and ease of retrieval for your folks



What was it before and how has the change affected low earners in real term.
Remember wage increase is usually as a direct result of rise in inflation


Did he try to trim the bloated civil service to reduce waste and in turn increase efficiency as an economic response to the recession experienced during his presidency? Any responsible government would do exactly the same.

People are already experiencing job losses as we speak


This doesn’t make much sense cos surely if he was the reason then why would the American govt suddenly create a policy that allows people to migrate under the visa lottery program.
No responsible government will allow net increase in migration when it’s almost certainly going to affect services they provide for their citizens


Have you tried to check the present value of OBJ’s 7.5K? I’m sure it wouldn’t make much difference because of obvious economic factors


OBJ actually bridged more gap between the rich and poor by creating tons of middle class through is economic policies.
People are arguably worse off


Provide me with the real data not the voodoo ones madam Ngozi has been brandishing about the place



Perception or fact?
What’s the value in real term of the stock exchange?


Please let’s get into it ma’am
No Government can achieve 100% improvement
The obvious performance indicators as far as banking is concerned are as follows:
Accessibility
Loan availability

In order to achieve 100% suggests all living Nigerian can shout a big Amen to the two KPI above

You sha wa use oyinbo dribble me today but i no go gree

I'm looking for evidence of change in personal circumstance that you've experienced during his presidency
His civil service reforms affected me personally.
I benefitted from it. smiley

Do you remember he was the reason why minimum wage was increased to the paltry 18,000 naira that it is now?

Those screaming buhari forgot that civil servants could hardly feed during his regime.
That was when the famous Brain drain slogan came up because anyone who could get away from NIGERIA ran as soon as they could to survive outside the country.
He's the reason today why USA visa is a cause for thanksgiving in nigerian churches cheesy
Everybody was leaving droves to escape the harsh conditions.

Obasanjo tried at least to make it (wages) 7,500(or something in that range) and then GEJ came and improved it to 18,000.
He's the reason why a level 15 civil servant can afford a semi comfortable life compared to the penury that characterized the other regimes.
Inflation was the about the same rate as it was then yet the past leaders didn't think the citizens deserved to survive.

Investment in Nigeria by other nations is also on the increase because of the growing economy.
I don't even want to get into the banking sector.
That area saw a 100percent improvement under GEJ.


No be lie. You be oyibo.cheesy

Why does a woman have to go through this in the 21st century?
That is the sad aspect of this story
If you go there to talk about women liberation, it is the women over there themselves that will pounce on you.

jaybee3:
I'm actually interested in your reason ma'am
GEJ is doing his best.
Just that propaganda won't let the opposition see it.

*Economic growth( needs a text book to fully state all the improvement that occurred under his regime)
*Media liberation (important for development)
*If we are honest, we will admit that GEJ is the reason why the population can stand up now and question the government. He's the most egalitarian leader NIGERIA has ever gotten. And if the next president after him is like him, there will be a lot of difference and improvement down the line.


I do have many reasons and changes I see in Nigeria that weren't there before he came.
You na oyibo man so you won't understand.

jaybee3:
Why would you vote the other candidate?
How exactly has any of his policies benefited you or your fam?
Actually His policies and civil service reforms benefitted my family and those other families in the same profession. (don't wanna give personal details)

But that's not my reason for supporting him over buhari as that would be a selfish reason.

GEJ is trying. They just don't want to work with him.
Too bad.

Buhari had his chance. He didn't impress us.

In the absence of a new untried person, GEJ gets the vote.

coogar:
verbally abusive only after they have been abused. no man goes about the forum looking for a woman to abuse. it's always in retaliation.
Coogar this one is a lie.
On nairaland, all the guys I've ever Insulted took the first jab.
90 percent of the time.

They just can't stand different opinion.
You only need to state a different opinion to see a reply that comes with horrible unwarranted name calling

So I'm wondering if that's how they will exchange words with their wives at home if the poor lady holds an opinion different from theirs.

Some guys have bad mouth gan. No try them o.

Verbal abuse is not only about women just as physical abuse is not only about men

lolababe331e:
It's an unfortunate cycle, the Dad beats the Mum regularly. The kids see her stay and claim she is happy in her marriage so the girls think beating is part of a good marriage and the boys think it's an acceptable way to "correct" their wives. On the front page someone confronted his Dad for slapping his Mum who is above 60 by the way showing that abusers rarely ever stop, yet most of the comments there are blaming him. Saying thinks like after all the Dad had probably been slapping the Mum since and they were still "happily" married so he should mind his business and watch his Mum get slapped around shocked

Not much to do.


Dice half ripe plantain, put in a pot and cover with water.

Dice onions and add before it boils.

Bring to a boil. Add Palm oil, crayfish, pepper,seasoning(maggi) and salt.

It thickens as it cooks.
When done to your preference , dish onto your plate and sprinkle parsley flakes.

Enjoy smiley

Ok let me contribute to the topic now cos I've not really said anything concerning the issue.

In all fairness,Some guys are trying.
Really.

The only ones I would comment against are those who mock those type of guys as wussies or effeminate men. That type of talk is wrong and it makes those who would like to do more refrain because they don't want to be seen as weak.

But I hope it won't discourage them from continuing with their awesome help.

There is still one thread for marriage haters where women were described in a pathetic manner.
