Again any young man that votes Buhari needs to check his brain. They call change yet they present past leaders that destroyed this country

Please how is OBJ, Buhari, Tinubu, Atiku change ?

Don't worry. Johny boy has a Degree in zoology. He will tame that Animal[b][/b]-in -Human-Skin by Val's day.

Sai no Animal in Aso Rock.

LRNZH:
You are referring to a rebased GDP under GEJ in 2014.
If you want to compare them, you have to either use a non rebased or rebased GDP for all of them.

For the purpose of comparative analysis, The Economist from which the debt data comes from used a non rebased GDP throughout, which is about $275 Billion in 2014.
Is that the only apparent 'weakness' you could identify?

You should still be worried about the increasing debt profile (Debt > Reserves) under very high oil prices and insignificant capital expenditure under GEJ.

Please grow up and argue issues without name calling.

First, I didn't do any name calling in my post. Buhari is just a pet name for the Animal in Human Skin.

Secondly and unfortunately, you can't pick and choose imaginary GDP numbers to suit your mission.

Thirdly, your Apeeshit Lagos state Government (as well as a number of other apeeshit states like Rivers State and my Imo State) contributed hugely to increasing the national debt in question. In fact your Rotimi led the charge to give his brother governors the right to waste the Excess Crude Account.

Fourthly, we have had an unprecedented period of globally low interest rates and it's actually very prudent to take advantage of these low interest rates to secure funds for long overdue infrastructure projects.

LRNZH:
Foul....
Look at the following statistics and tell me if NOI is being sincere defending GEJ's non performance.

OBJ (2007 Ave.)
Reserves: $53 billion
National Debt: $17Billion (12% of GDP)
Oil Price: $64/barrel

Yar'adua (2009 Ave.)
Reserves: $42 billion
National Debt: $21Billion (11.6% of GDP)
Oil Price: $53/barrel

GEJ (2014 Ave.)
Reserves: $38 Billion
[b]National Debt: $49Billion (18.5% of GDP)
Oil Price: $89/barrel

Do you Buhari supporters have a quarrel with mathematics and economics?

Nigeria's GDP in 2014 was $510 Billion, so how can a National Debt of $49Billion be 18.5% of GDP?

Whining janjawids!

They can give but they can't take a little. This is taking the saying that it's more blessed to give than to receive, too far.

Sai no Buhari (until he completes secondary school)

Laff wan kill me.

Sai no Buhari

Zoharariel:
The last time I checked; GMB isn't seeking to be elected as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigerian Muslims. He is about becoming the President of Nigeria - A secular state at that. He can even decide to visit the Eck Temple in Porthacourt should he so desire; so you can shove your Quranic Citation up your Mama's Vulvic & tell GEJ & his attack dogs to be worried more about their looming National Disgrace.

Nigerian 1st President EVER to be voted out of Power - Oraguntan!

If you knew which of the harlots in that brothel you call your first home was actually your mother, you won't be insulting mothers.

I didn't know that Buhari was such an exponent of Taqiyya.

For the uninformed:

In Islam, taqiyya تقية (alternative spellings taqiyeh, taqiya, taqiyah, tuqyah) is a form of religious dissimulation,[1] or a legal dispensation whereby a believing individual can deny his faith or commit otherwise illegal or blasphemous acts while they are in fear or at risk of significant persecution.[2]

This Animal's lust for power is truly sickening.

danjumakolo:
Buhari gave the first Nigerian, an ibo man the license to export crude when he was petroleum minister. This was against all odds from top civil servants

This is the kind of specious arguments that really gets my goat. So, he gave this random Igbo friend of his an oil lifting contract. How does that benefit Igbos in general?

The way things are going I can see Buhari converting to Christianity to contest the 2019 elections. That would be next logical step after failing twice with pastors.

This clown is playing the religious card to a disgusting extent.

Mohammad Bin Lying, again!

We already know that the Animal is suffering from an incurable case of foot-in-mouth disease but we didn't know it was terminal.


Of course his disease has proved terminal for several innocent compatriots including certain Youth Corpers murdered by his core adherents (at his urging) in 2011. Even though the mumu provides the occasional comic relief, I will not be hypocritical or selfish to say that I will be sorry to see it die.

Obiagelli:
Gej does not want the west to grow too?

Hypocrite

It's not like the two are comparable. The slow approval rate for acquiring NRC land for the Red Line isn't the same as outrightly cancelling the metroline project even at the price of a hefty penalty.

Sidebar: if NRC bureaucracy is delaying the Red Line, who does Fash-ole blame for the non-completion of the Blue Line after all the global photo-ops.

HappyJoe:
Please can we stop these petty insults and focus on the subject of this thread.

The people who promoted the "Wawa/Ijekebe" dichotomy are either very old or dead. There were ugly incidents in the past like Enugu State's dismissal of Anambra people from its Civil Service, but that is past - Enugu needs Anambra and vice versa.

The selling point of Enugu is the town Enugu - spacious, wide & very livable. People with "civil service/politics" mentality (who know nothing about trade and investment) - tried to exclude Ndi Anambra from Enugu. In a more internally generated revenue driven Nigeria, this attitude cannot work. Governor Chime was instrumental to attracting the likes of Innoson and other Anambra businessmen to Emene to set up shop.

The selling point of Anambra is commerce - but we don't have a planned urban area (like Enugu). Everyone (people from Ebonyi, Enugu, Abia & Imo) come to Anambra to make money. At the rate Obiano is going, we might have several planned urban areas in Anambra within 4 years. This might chip away at Enugu's advantage (which Asaba is already competing with).

I traveled through Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi, Abia and Imo States last October (I even have a lot of pictures). Enugu & Ebonyi have the natural advantage of vast tracts of arable land (there is too much land in Abakaliki). Abia and Imo have massive potential in Oil Palm and the Adani/Omor/Anambra river basin area can give you 300,000 metric tonnes of rice per annum, if we are serious.

Ndigbo should start looking at ways to collaborate, not this silly competition ("the narcissism of small differences". We are strategically positioned and we should look beyond collaborating with each other, but consider collaboration with our neighbours: Abakaliki is a couple of hours away from Calabar. Dredging the Calabar channel is in our interest - it has the potential to make Abakaliki & Enugu boom economically (adding Enugu's International Airport to that mix).

Kogi has vast tracts of land and due to Peter Obi's marvelous work on road construction, people are now passing through Igbariam/Aguleri/Ifite Ogwari etc to get to Nsukka & then to Idah. There's a lot to leverage on that relationship.

Benue is right next to Enugu State (Nsukka) - we can leverage on that too & Ndigbo have no major issues with Idoma people.

Instead of blind arguments over nothing ("narcissism of small differences", consider this: Enugu is closer to Benin than Lagos, Enugu is closer to Makuri than Lagos too - ditto for Taraba. Enugu International Airport can turn into a major aviation hub for Nigeria if we are ready to fight for its patronage, not kill ourselves over "Ndi Wawa and Ndi Ijekebe".

Could we please return to the topic of this thread?

Thanks, bro.

Finally an adult presence in the house.

donmalcolm21:
The only reason I condemned GMB was cos of his silence. He was in the best place to call those miscreants to order or denounce the violence in his entirety but he chose to keep quiet. "Evil triumph when good men keep silent"

Your quote is a bit inappropriate even if well intentioned. Buhari can NEVER be a good man.

Interestingly, the guy even admits that his "facts" are counter intuitive.

Well, they are counterintuitive because you just made up the facts.

Adminisher:
Buhari cancelled it for good reasons. Lagos State did not have the money then. There have been dozens of administrators and governors since Jakande who never revived the project for the same reasons. Jonathan himself did not revive it in cooperation with Lagos State. On the other hand one is still planned for FCT Abuja (if they can find the money). Pleas do not blame Buhari for a very wise decision. The whole reason for lagos BRT was that money was not immediately available the metroline that is being constructed now.

“ Was Buhari unaware of the huge penalty clause in the contract? So wherein stands his fib about avoiding loans? “We are appalled by this singular act that has compounded the traffic problems of Lagos, the seat of Nigeria’s economy. Gen Buhari needs to rehash a better tale.”

The PCC added that Buhari was just trying to score cheap political points and was being clever-by-half when he said the project was terminated because of financing issues. It also accused the CPC candidate of contempt for the people of Lagos, wondering why he just found his voice to speak on the issue almost 30 years after the contract was terminated. “Firstly, the project, which was initiated by the administration of Alhaji Lateef Jakande, was going on smoothly and on schedule before the coup-d’état by General Buhari. The project would no doubt have been completed on time if not for General Buhari’s coup and the transportation nightmare Lagosians face today would not have existed.

“The visionary Jakande administration had concluded all the plans to finance the project, putting everything in place for its successful execution. The government had secured a $450 million loan at six per cent fixed interest rate for 25 years. At the time the project was cancelled the government had paid part of the loan and therefore had no worry about financing the project.

“What Buhari failed to tell his Lagos audience was that with the short-sighted termination of the project, Nigeria forfeited a whopping $60 million, part of the loan that had been paid by the previous government. Buhari took that decision arbitrarily in spite of being warned of the consequences,” the statement added.

This is what Buhari wanted to bring to Nigeria with Decree 4.

falconey:
Welcome to the CHANGE era!!!!....not that buhari is better is cus we are tired of cluelessness...anybody but jonaTAN

Chill, read the comment again and look up the word "sarcasm".

bossminded:
If weed no gud for ur bodi dnt smoke it!!!

Just look at hw this man dy allow weed mess am up.

This thing no be weed. Na LSD or magic mushrooms.

akinsadeez:
wow. what an interesting read. Politics from the viewpoint of an unrepentant technocrat. This article also shoes how little things can affect or change a whole lot. Maybe if yaradua had been healthy for just one more year, Soludo would have ruled anambra for eight years. The timing of yaradua's illness was most inconvenient.

I don't know if the highlighted is informed by hypocrisy or amnesia but Alhaji Musa "Baba-go-slow" Y'ardua couldn't have died soon enough. That man reversed the few good initiatives OBJ left for him. He stalled power sector reforms by sponsoring a witch hunting circus while crucial power generating equipment were rotting at the ports.

NgeneUkwenu:
My Fellow Countrymen!,

There is a chance, Buhari could be worse than Jonathan, there is a chance Buhari could be Better than Jonathan But there is absolutely NO CHANCE Jonathan Could Better Than Jonathan! So Vote Wisely!

You think our vote is a Lotto ticket?

You want us to take a chance with a fascist failed dictator? A mumu that had 3 extra-ordinary chances to serve the Nigerian people but left a nest of scandals each time?

0700Jesse:
Ohh yeah, Buhari supporters keep saying the word "clueless" in their every comments, i really hope they are not semi-illiterate as well.

They are all semi-literate. That's why they support Buhari (a confirmed olodo) who wants to stabilize global oil prices from Aso Rock.

tit:
are you suggesting he should have killed Papa Awolowo?

these buhari supporters are so bloodthirsty!
are you boko haram in disguise?

Na only dey see disguise oh.

Apeeshit = Boko Haram = Janjawid

ItsMeAboki:
Exactly, especially considering item 4 on that list.

4. Increase act of Boko Haram in A;B & Yobe and harassment of Emirs and District head loyal go Governors

Jonathan and PDP should come out and deny this allegation or else we will be forced to believe that they are behind Boko Haram.

This is the most re.tarded conspiracy theory I have ever come across. And I have seen some pretty daft ones.

If there is any dark mark against GEJ, it's the BH insurgency and someone thinks GEJ is responsible for it when in actual fact BH is the armed wing of the Apeeshit. Hell, they even asked Buhari to negotiate on their behalf.

maestroferddi:
APC supporters apparently have made a vocation of deflecting germaine issues.

They have a penchant for shadow-boxing themselves to stupor instead of being objective.

Buhari in his archaic and outlandish ways went to town with the ruse that he has only a million naira as his bank balance. Meanwhile, it is out there in the public domain that Buhari receives about N22m monthly as an ex-Head of State.

Now, one would expect Buhari/APC supporters to explain the propriety of a man of Buhari's stature having only a million as balance after retiring as a Major-General in Nigerian army: pension or no pension.

Not even one person is trying to give a cogent explanation. They are busy trying to malign Shan George for daring to ask an honest question.

I tell you one thing: Sentiments might make you popular on social media, but they wouldn't win you elections.

Don't mind the deluded janjawids. Imagine insulting a hardworking woman to defend their unemployed dictator.

obamartins:
i guess she got tutored on the rudiment of prostitution from ur mother. Your mother is such a high class prostitute. And u are a product of prostitution gone wrong, she should have used a condom when that madman came to bleep her. See the result of her been drunk that day, a dim wit.

You dey mind Janjawid? Once you don't agree with their perverted logic, they start throwing insults at you. You shouldn't be surprised, Buhari (their hero) made a decree during his unfortunate 20 months in power to jail journalists who may embarrass his junta.

I don't support Apeeshit but El Ruffai is simply not in the same category as that clown Yero that wastes his state's money sending students to Uganda. El Ruffai is cerebral and focused and remains the best choice for Kaduna.

Kaduna is lucky to have him.

jimmysho:
Information reaching is that the president is a member of the sainthood order if the holy cross OOO olumba olumba obu which many Christians refers to as a cult.

That's the reason we will vote for him. We are tired of Christians and Muslims taking turns to rule us.

yazach:
It was watched with dismay, the Presidential spokesperson; Pot-bellied Doyin Okupe on a national TV asking Nigerians if we wanted a Nigeria of the 80's or Nigeria of now?? IMAGINE!
Can someone please let him know that in the 80s, we slept with our doors open without fear
In the 80s, the naira was almost equivalent to the dollar
In the 80s we had functioning refineries
In the 80s the price of fuel was almost free
In 80s, Generators were something we distantly heard about
In the 80s, religious bigotry never existed
In the 80's, act of terrorism never existed

The goodies of the 80s are endless and that is why Nigerians are replying him by saying YES, we want Nigeria of the 80's. Am sure no sane Nigerian will want Nigeria to continue being governed as of today.

May God return the Nigeria of the 80s, precisely that of 83-85. Can somebody say Amen?

You forgot to add that in your magical 80's when you die, you'll just wake up. In fact there was no death. That's why people were spending all their waking moments then queuing for rice, sugar, milk and soap powder.

Fantasy!
