I just pity Nigeria, we know nothing about economy and governance.

For good 16 years of PDP we keep importing instead of refining locally, wasting our forex on importation. How can a nation survive been an import depending economy, please students of economics.

For 16 years of Oil boom Nigeria only manage tos ave $30 billion when Algeria save $155 billion. Our survival resources is zero compares to other OPEC members.

I realized we need more than Change, we need revolution but we can only manage Change where criminal use our stolen wealth to hire 80 lawyers to fight Nigeria for asking for our wealth.

BiafranNigerian:
Epic! I knew it was going to be suffering all along. I noted how people started trekking when Buhari won. It was a sign of things to come. I am not disappointed one bit, cos I saw what was coming and I prepared mindset for it. And by my grace, I have not been affected by the myriads of APC induced problems cos I saw it coming and got myself immuned in time.

If PDP spend 16 year's with nothing to show, while not allow APC to finish 4 year's, comparing 16 years to 1 year.

TippyTop:
How did he become a senator? (Excuse me for forgetting your people elected him)

By rigging and money, if you a Nigeria you understand.

Obamina:
. If this man had been a floor member, nobody would have noticed all this things, Just because he says no to APC godfathers. There are many of them not only Saraki jooor. It is well

What is our problem, number three man is an important position in d country. You don't fight for good office with skeletons in your cupboard. The day you join politics expect anything. We need people of good characters to run d country.

One by one God is going to expose them, Ameeeeeeeen.

Ovie56:
APC chain

We are managing the chain, military is better, quick answers to our problems.

diegwu01:
The FG led by GEJ was dipping its sticky corrupt fingers into the ECA meant for the FG and States with no accountability,
the NGF headed by Amaechi at the time warned against it severally without success, an agreement was reached by the Nigeria Governors Forum to compel the FG share the monies in the ECA so the FG could dip it fingers to only its share..

GEJ and RCA they cant be mates, Amaechi is far wiser and intelligent, He slaughtered GEJ in March 2015

Why is Okonjo withdrawn from the ECA account without d governor's knowledge, when d money get missing under Jonathan the governor's call for sharing.

Ben Bruce, as a PDP member, can you please explain to Nigeria why for 16 years your Party keep importing fuel to run our economy wasting oil resources on importation when we have crude only to refine.

Can any nation develop by been an import dependent economy?.

woodcook:
I may not be privy to truth about what happened behind the scene during GEJ tenure but one thing I know for sure from day one NOI presence was felt.

In the present administration I not sure if we have a finance minister, not even a bleep from her with all the uncertainty and hardship in the land. At least she should update Nigerians on what they are doing or planning to do to solve the current economic woes. I dont know when CBN governor and Lai Mohammed became finance ministers.

I tire for naija.

Do you read or you don't understand.

zubby55:
u mean buhari can stop the cabals and yet we dnt have fuel ....who do u think that cause this fuel scarcity we are facing now

Where is your brain?, please use it.

Goldencollins:
ThankGod they didn't kidnap u Madam,but Buhari must suffer for making Nigerians go through this kind of pain and hardship.

Can't you read before comment.

fashoo2010:
Nice one... Hope the loan will reduce the ongoing hardship on the masses.

Beside, why is it the we African are always going to Europe, Asia, north america to get loan? Non of this country has never think of borrowing from us, why?

Algeria save $155 billion from Oil boom, Nigeria save $30 billion. Until will reduce importation especially Petroleum our economy cannot progress.

cktheluckyman:
Bros Saraki still retains 100% loyalty of the PDP senators while those of the APC are still divided.He still has majority of the senators to date

Nigeria students should be allow to close d assembly until they listen to Nigerians.

Democracy is too expensive to run, under military no need of 80 lawyers to defend, but we complain the government is slow.

TippyTop:
If you're more than 17yrs you would realise Tinubu did same when faced with same dilemma.

Anybody cut should face d music, this is our no 3 man for God sake. Nigeria first before d party.

wilcox:
Show me the difference between APC and PDP. Mr.

Wait for 4 years at list PDP spend 16 years, this is just a year.

banttieman:
You forgot to write that you woke up at the end.


Modified: Oh Gawd!!! Now I know what it means to be FTC. Likes just dey rain in anyhow sha!!

Lalasticlala abeg come make we drink Red Label.
Simon u can read this... Stop printing and join our party!!!

This change we vote for will be to slow, if is military, Saraki and co need no 80 SAN lawyers.

Our future has been mortgage by the past Governor, we don't deserve democracy. One of the disadvantage of democracy is too expensive to run.

tomakint:
Na now day break for Nigeria......this is nice and a welcome idea. Fashola must go simple as ABC......even if you give the rabble-rousers 20 years he can't power Ikeja let alone the whole Nigeria.....after Amaechi the clown must go...

Fashola forget that he take over from a functional government with a good program in Lagos. Tinubu lay the foundation for Fashola but many forget that we vote Tinubu nobody knows Fashola 2007.

Now, let him prove himself. Everybody called Fashola forgetting he is just lucky. No matter what we say or call Tinubu, today Lagos is a functional state from Tinubu time and for Buhari to pick him despite Tinubu objections. I pray is not too late before Buhari realize.

fistonati:
Its already an hero, this govt is villian. Goodluck Jonathan we missed you.

Maybe military rule will make him a better hero, no need of 80 or 100 lawyers (SAN) to pass judgment on all the yam eater.

Democracy waste time, going to court, adjournment and bail, military judgment is instantly.

stzy:
The difference is clear lik 7up.... Jonathan better pass Buhari


I know say GEJ no do anything but d only thing he did was removing foriegn intimidtion n making sure we weren't suffering lik we do now

Now Buhari is going round d globe reenacting neo-colonization again, destroying our own rule of law n subjecting us 2 critical hardship

By the time he's done with us US will now bring gay billl n we will accept coz we're hungry n dey seem 2 b our hope

Hit lik to say no 2 Buhari..... Anti-Jonathan(living large) pls hit shares

If you want change to happen very urgent, let go for military, no 80 lawyers, no adjournment judges, no bail. Democracy waste time, military don't waste time, we need all d yam eater to vomit our yam.

aaronson:
Buhari regime would make Jonathan seem like a hero.

Hero?, let the Military take over instead of change and see maybe Jonathan will need 1000 lawyers under d military to answer charges.

olatade:
Any slowpoke who shouts PDP !!! POWER in 2019 thunder fire am. It took PDP 16 solid years to mess up the country. In 10months they now want magic in solving the problems they left behind. Amadioha fire all you.

They can't understand, stealing is not corruption. All d Oil boom, no refinery keep importing instead of refining locally. Algeria save $155 billion Nigeria save $30 billion from Oil boom.

herkzprince:
Change doesn't come easy ..You have to go through some things ..Its hard today ..Y'all blaming Baba ..I know for sure its gonna be good one day ..#betterdays ahead ..if you believe click like ..share if you don't #Sai Baba

They never ask PDP, why after 16 year's no refinery, running our economy with imported fuel, they want Buhari to perform miracle build refinery under 1 year.

We have to stop Importing fuel before we can move forward as a nation. An essential commodities for that matter.

Let him enjoy 4 years, Jonathan enjoy 5 years of Oil boom, then we will decide 2019.

TANTUMERGO007:
what has saraki(alimi of all afonjas) done to deserve this treatment

Let him ask for forgiveness from innocent Kwaran without salary for months.

Fear the masses, there prayer is straight to God.

BossWike:
Great one!
NANS must rise up to its challenges!!

In the days of IBB and Abacha, NANS was a major institution that mounted pressure on the govt. We need them now more than ever before!


Bleep Buhari, bleep NLC

Zone B alone, what of d rest.

BossWike:
Zombie, go school u no gree!


Now, this is what they are saying, if fuel no de yafuyafu for everywhere for Naija before the next two days, ur god, the dullard of Daura should resign or they will occupy the whole street of Nigeria... I hope u get it now?
Dund*

I just pity them, where are they when for 16 years of PDP, they were importing fuel to run our economy.

tuniski:
All this epistle don't support your curious assertion that the economy would have been worse off today under GEJ.

The lameness of those anchoring buhari's poor performance on oil price is legendary! U guys make it feel like capital attracts business instead of business attracting capital!

Anyway, if u think it is child's play to borrow why hasn't buhari been able to borrow with all the globe trotting?
As a buhari minion u can't understand coos many are still drown on propaganda. What a woman did for 4yrs Pmb/kachikwu couldn't do. We have our worse fuel scarcities over the last 11 months even the one btw April/may 2015 was due to buhari's utterances of not recognizing subsidy payment to marketers.

More so, naira crashing is record under buhari just under 6months the naira crashed to 400+. Is it unemployment, businesses closing shops, insecurity, inflation in fact the entire economy is comatose just in 11months. What this actually shows is that the previous admin even when accused of corruption must have been doing a great work.

Remove the legacy achievements of last admin from buhari's and u will see the monumental disaster he is! A hopelessly clueless govt heralding audit tools of TSA and BVN as achievements.


The simple question on the streets is; are u better off today than under previous admgin? I know u know the answer!

Better off? Do you know Jonathan borrow to pay salary when crude is at $54, what do you expect now that is between $26/$38.

Can you tell me where Jonathan is going get d money to run d government because if you can't manage the good times how can you manage the bad times.

Please how much is our debt in 2011 before Jonathan and now when Jonathan is out of power.
They have started borrowing our future, trillion naira to service debt now. With oil at $100+ Jonathan still borrow money.

obailala:
I have no regrets booting the old order out because the present economic conditions would have been worse if Gej had continued (I can swear on that). The nation's forex reserves were dropping at the speed of light (losing $10bn in his last 6 months in office), the FG was unable to pay salaries and had to borrow to pay just salaries, fuel subsidies were owed to marketers in his last 8 months leading to the worst fuel scarcity in Nigerian history in May 2015 and all this happened when the oil crash just started with oil still selling above $60. May I also add the story of the Naira crashing from N160-N220 within this short period also. Obviously, too many people weren't observant enough to notice these things, whenever you think of GEJ, your mind flies to 2013/2014 when oil sold for over $110.

Believe what you may want to believe but Nigeria's present economic woes are simply caused by the low oil prices and the stubborn tight-fisted disposition of PMB is part of the reason why the nations still stands today (it would definitely have been much worse). You dont want to imagine what could happen to a nation if it runs out of forex reserves.

The above explanation would definitely not be understood by a simpleton cos all they know is that "when GEJ was there, things were okay, but now, things are hard;" they obviously do not have the intellectual capacity to factor in the oil prices saga in their comparison. I believe we are all educated folks on this forum and we should be able to make informed comparisons (not like the simpletons). For anyone with the ability for critical thought, the economy in the last 6 months of GEJ is the only reasonable period to be used for comparison.

From my own judgement, a bad time like this is definitely not a time to be led by a GEJ who couldn't assert authority or take charge of the nation's resources; we could have been begging for food by now. So yeah, take it or leave it and this is my opinion, Buhari and his gang may not be living up to expectation, but I have absolutely no regrets booting out GEJ especially at these bad times.

cc: BushidoBlue, iamcourage,

Thank you sir, many don't know anything about economy's

PDP spend 16 year's importing petroleum to run our economy without looking inward to produce fuel locally. Because of Oil boom paying subsidies running to trillion yearly.

Now Oil boom is over, we're is d forex now to finance importation and pay subsidies. Algeria save $155 billion foreign reserve, Nigeria reserved is $30 billion.

A man who life in a rented house paying million instead of building a house, will sleep under the bridge when he loses his job.
Our only source of income is Oil, many shouting diversify under 1 year what they PDP failed to achieve for 16 years.

Boss13:
Funny enough he said the truth. Nigerians are complaining and the president must listen. The era to blame the last administration is gone and real work must commence. This is not about PDP anymore, it's about what the president is doing to solve Nigeria problems. It is also amusing if subsidy is returned back after it was clearly stated that it adds no benefit.

Pure cowardice

Who tell you, will soon stone PDP. Imagine importing petroleum for 16 years without looking inward, you expect Buhari to build refinery under 1 year.

Tell me where is being done. You can't run an economy by being an import dependent country. With the crash in global oil price, where do we get forex to finance importation like before and still pay subsidies.

Many don't know nothing about economy they just want miracle.

edo3:
Initially,,I never supported this man called saraki becos he was over- ambitious,,but as things are going now,,am begining to feel that d yorubas should rally round him..wether they like it or not saraki remain a yoruba man..that slot should not slip off our hands. Am proudly yoruba..

Why, because of what, thousands in Kwara are hungry no salary for months now.
