we will shock you guys again. We can't go back to any corrupt Govt for now.

See where corruption and looting have landed us...

NgeneUkwenu:
Okonjo Iweala, a woman that had seen it all could come out to say at an American conference that the SEED OF THIS RECESSION WAS PLANTED DURING THE JONATHAN REGIME DUE TO OUR LACK OF FINANCIAL DISCIPLINE, INABILITY AND LACK OF POLITICAL WILL TO SAVE.

Obasanjo's administration earned # 17trn [/b]from crude oil sales within eight years and left behind 45bn dollars external reserves and 3.348bn dollars external debt.

Yaradua grew the reserves to [b]64bn dollars within just one year and the administration was able to finance 15 months of imports despite the 2008/2009 world economic meltdown. Hence, Nigeria survived the melt down because of the political will by the administration to save(a great achievement by Yaradua which most Nigerians are not aware of). Despite the tough economic reality at that time, Yaradua left 47.7bn dollars in reserves and an external debt of 3.94bn dollars. Meanwhile, the administration earned only # 9trn from crude oil sales within that short period.

Now, Jonathan administration witnessed an oil boom when Brent crude sold for over 100 dollars/barrel, with the regime earning # 51trn within a period of 5years. But because of corruption, the administration did not only squander the oil revenue but even depleted the reserves left by Yaradua, leaving just 32bn dollars and a huge external debt of 63bn dollars for Buhari. The same Brent crude sold for as low as 35 dollars/barrel at a point shortly after Buhari took over power and had only managed to climb to about 48 dollars just recently.

These are facts that can be verified. So, it's amazing hearing people criticize Buhari for the hunger in the land.

According to Fashola, Buhari's administration inherited 206 uncompleted road projects and contract arrears worth #2.1trn from Jonathan; and for about 2 to 3 years the contractors where not paid. This slowed down the economic activities, with most of the companies laying off their staff. This was when the seed of recession was sowed.

It's obvious that Buhari came in to rescue Nigeria, because if Jonathan had continued in power, the nation's economic crisis would have been worse, perhaps even the Federal government wouldn't have been able to pay salaries of civil servants by now.

According to Okonjo Iweala, Nigeria started borrowing money to pay salaries since October, 2014; but today Nigeria now borrow money for investment in capital projects.

Those who blame Buhari for the current hardship do so either out of mischief (hatred) or ignorance. So, we shouldn't join the bandwagon in criticising him. [b]He may not have done much to save the situation, considering that he is not a perfect human being but he means well for the country and can only succeed with our prayers[/b].

[size=15pt]May Almighty God continue to guide Baba Buhari.

thank you very much, they are just hating for nothing. Buhari is God sent, Nigeria would've been grounded by now

Sometimes I wonder if these guys here on nairaland can comprehend simple write up.

Nice...

Great, carry on. These people and corruption brought us to where we are now.

Kudos to EFCC Kudos to PMB

Hard luck bro. you'll see it by God's Grace

unfortunately, most people that make noise here don't participate in voting. #watching with keen interest...

Just 2 billion? I luv this man, God bless my President. Carry go Til 2023.

if you did nothing wrong and you don't have anything to fear, then go and answer your name, why this propaganda to gain public sympathy?

it seems most guys here can not really comprehend or relate just two simple things. Half baked!!!

Blackface is got a point tho. What matters is the impact we make in the life of others.

Nice Info, thanks

God bless my President. Those that put you there are solidly behind you. We for more strength for you to carry-on the good works you've started.

#The corrupt and their supporters will not rest, we know but ignore them and carry-on your effort to change Nigeria for good.

I wish God can push all these boys on NL out of naija so we can have a better peaceful country.

#sadist everywhere!

Nice

its unfortunate that we are still reasoning like this in this our age. Sentiment, sectionalism, discrimination, etc.

#i refuse to believe that our colour is how we are inside and how we reason but I can see the truth in that saying in most of our people.

omogin:
Ok then why not pay salaries and pay contractors and get this economy going again. Don't know if APC is to be trusted with anything.

is the Federal govt owing workers? no. or you are expecting the Federal govt to still give bailout to the states that couldn't account for the first one they collected.
The last time I check, the contractors are being mobilise to site and are receiving part of their payment.

#Gradually Nigeria will get better.

While I appreciate celebrities for their hardwork and talent, I still don't know why people go gaga and crazy when they see celebs?

are there really girls in friend-zone? I luv to make lots of ladies my friend but after few days she'll want to be "more than just best friend".

#its hard for a good guy to keep normal female friend in this part of the world. they prefer players

Badyear:
Wow!
From the look of Kerry's facial expression he is really fond of buhari.
Please Mr Kerry take him back to america with you maybe he will be useful there

no, we voted him as President because we want him to lead us, rather you can excuse us by going on self exile til 2023.

that's my President, God bless you. #Til 2023 By God's grace

Good for her But am not impress. no matter wat, I rep naija. will rather compete for my country that I luv than any other.
#I can see how patriotic we are!!!

Dead on arrival. Do we look like fools to these corrupt politicians, they're too selfish. they should be ashame of themselves for the havoc they have done to this country already.
Will rather vote for fresh party than vote their new platform to loot.
God bless Nigeria
God bless PMB

Thank God for PMB and thank God for those that supported him! PMB is a blessing to Nigeria

its a normal thing in Abuja especially now that the civil servants have to survive with only their salary as gov has block most of the leakages they use in making extra cash.

Aside making extra cash, its also very helpful because population of Abuja is growing everyday and the officially registered "kabukabu" is not sufficient.

Great one. Gradually we will get there. Nigeria shall be great again. God bless Nigeria God bless our local producers God bless our Leaders

This is one of the best write up I've read for a long time now.
I'm a supporter of buhari and I will remain one until I see a better option.
Yes he might not be the best but right now am yet to see a better candidate amongst our politicians
