I hope we never have a president like Jonathan again. Forget the tribe he comes from; as an incumbent, he lost in 21 out of 36 states, and that speaks volumes, regardless of how you try to spin it. The fact that others didn't perform as expected doesn't change the fact that he's clueless, unfit for the presidency, and better suited for the vice-presidential role he was initially picked for

Higherthan:
We already knows who will dish out the death threats 😆…. It’ll be the same ppl who will insult you for not supporting their candidate, those who refuse to give their parents feeding money for supporting BAT, those who uses kick to wake their father from sleep it can only be them.
And they’re called THE HEADLESS MOB


So those headless mob knows who they are hahaha 🤣
My mentions is getting filled.
So you know yourselves as a headless mob?

seanfer:
You’re now getting my point gradually.

seanfer:
Remember Obi is also a product of PDP and Datti also.

seanfer:
I’m not happy that they’re shortchanging we the citizens.
But you people make me laugh whenever you say LP is different , forgetting that majority of the candidates under LP are crooks too, they’re just pretending no difference. The earlier you people realize this the better.

smartr:
Oga leave that thing. These reps don mess up. Can’t they request for cheaper SUVs? A whole 160million!!

nairalanda1:
Yes, but Obi unfortunately is not on the seat

Apus:
The Fallibility of man. Everyday Nigerians keep losing trust in their leaders. Even the youths are no different.

Very sure the present pastor there will have almost the same story by the time he's done.

nairalanda1:
Obj economy was bad. I lived under it.

I agree with you about buhari

nairalanda1:
The word is out

We got to produce

nairalanda1:
Well, oil prices crashed in 2014 and remained low till 2021

Also, you have to accept that we aren't making enough money..one of GEJs officals said as much and before that Obasanjo even made a comment on it.

If we want to earn enough from oil we have to be selling it at least at 120 dollars a barrel. 100 if you must be generous.

Where Buhari failed is that in the face of low oil prices he acted as if oil was high.

Plus even then, that iswhat happens with resource depwndkent economies. Price low, take loans price high pay the loans.

MASTERCHIEF0847:
You are not bright, so your small brain told you that i am a Tinubu supporter and trying to exonerate him?
You be real mumu and illiterate, carry your hate for Tinubu elsewhere you fool.
I have no time for both you and the Tinubu.

MASTERCHIEF0847:
Was the price higher than during the GEJ days? Una too like sentiments shish!
Me am not a supporter of any Nigeria leader past or present, they all failed miserably considering the amount of resources and power at their disposal.

nairalanda1:
Started repaying the debts which we incurred when oil prices were low, especially during COVID when oil was as low as 23 dollars


Unless you have a tiny population, oil countries run into debt when oil prices are too too low.When the oil prices rise, the debt has to be paid off.

We would have been in the same situation in 2011-14 if not for the 2006 debt write-off and oil hitting 140 per barrel in 2008, which yaradua used to buffer our savings.

This is by no means a defence of Buhari. APC came into power with mandate to diversify the economy. They did not. Buhari didn't even raise tax income and fight corruption either

nairalanda1:
High oil prices and a lower debt burden to begin with.

Before anyone comes here to abuse me

1..I am not an APC supporter

2..I don't back PDP either.


Jona had high oil prices. Buhari started off with dropping oil prices and it was only in 2021 that oil prices went up to the 2011-14 level.

Even then we didn't benefit from Buhari high oil prices because we had borrowed up so much under his rule to feed corruption, feed defending the naira and feed growing subsides.


We had the same thing happening in 1973-82. High oil prices and then in 1982, crash. By 1992 we had gone through years of mess and the naira was hovering around 33 to the dollar compared to 1 to 1 in 1978

Every oil country has the same boom and bust. Venezuela was very prosperous in the 1970s. By 1980s the economy was a mess. Iraq too, which is partly why saddam invaded Kuwait. He needed their oil revenue. Ten years of low oil prices led him there.


The problem Jona, tinubu and Buhari and for that matter many of our past leaders share ( Yaradua was a exception somewhat) is that they think we are a rich country. When oil prices fall, we borrow to keep our heads above water and maintain the illusion.when they are high we spend and spend.

Oil was going above 200 naira by the end of GEj regime. By January 2015 , NOI was warning that hard times awaited, whoever won that year. In fact by 2014, April when oil prices started crashing, anyone who remembered 1982 would have had a feeling of déjà vu.

Pakute:
Did GEJ experience recession?, No.
Did GEJ experience pipeline vandalism and production shortfalls?, No
Did GEJ experience Covid?, No.
Did GEJ experience Ukrain/Russia war that's affecting food prices? No.

MASTERCHIEF0847:
Going by that logic am sure Nigerians would pay to go back to Abacha days when the dollar was 22 naira and petrol 18 naira.
If our leaders had been sincere and done their job we won’t be wishing backwards.

MASTERCHIEF0847:
Crude oil prices were at its highest levels during GEJ days which was an advantage and also he had a good and competent economic team led by Ngozi Okonjo Iweala and other economic and financial experts who were picked based on merit instead of nepotism and political patronage as it was during Buhari and now under Tinubu.
Nigeria is now heading into “Gangster Capitalism “ like we had in countries like Russia,Romania,Belarus and other former Soviet Union states…the economy being controlled by criminals and outlaws with government power.

Dicoomoba:
Yes I used to my country government is there anything bad guy lemme tell you the truth It doesn’t start on APC but right from early years of independence

bhella10:
Obi will never rule this country.

HeadlessMob:
Many of you are so unintelligent to know that the time to submit fresh evidence has passed. Is that not why Atiku Kojoli was rushing the court in the US? Any fresh evidence not submitted as at last week can no longer be submitted. Please always use your brain

Pakute:
The problem una get is hypocrisy mixed with idiocy. During Buhari, una say the man na dullard, gworo-chewing, even say e don die and na clone, Jubril dey Aso rock, yet una dey expect appointment from the same man. The same thing una dey do again, Tinubu na illegitimate govt, druggie, Amoda Ogunlere, Gloria Tinubu, a female, etc and the man appointment still dey pepper una body. Abeg, have you guys asked yourselves-"what kind of a people are we?". Until you do, una need psychatric evaluation.

Dubetex96:
Don't expect much from this judges they will definitely choose the side of our oppressors.

Nigeria jurisprudence will sink deeply with their Kangaroo judgement .
