Expected this some few weeks back, you do not declare a ceasefire, call for dialogue and still deploy more troops with heavy artillery alongside with renewed military offensive and expect you opponent to take the call for negotiation serious.

jozee8:
vibrant young man, what will you suggest the government should do at this point in time?

A lot, starting with presidential jets.

Desperate efforts to shore up Buhari's sagging popularity.

obailala:
The increase between June 2015 to June 2016 is due to a change in the exchange rates used in the calculations, i.e. from N197 to N283; they haven't yet even borrowed the trillions they plan to borrow to fund the budget of this year.

Meanwhile if you want to know who really destroyed our country on all fronts, go and ask how much was Nigeria's debt as at May 2010 and also ask how much was this debt as at May 2015. Just FYI, this period between 2010 to 2015 was when Nigeria made its highest income but also the time it incurred devastatingly high debts; even money was borrowed to pay salaries at the time. The truth is painful for sure..

You have returned with your zombies analysis once more.

Nigeria debt profile stood at N9 trillion as at 2011 and N12 trillion as at 2015. Mr. Buhari borrowed N4.6 trillion in 1 yr and has not even borrowed for 2016 budget which is additional N1.8 trillion.

Before you resume your chant of crude price and dollars rate, N2.6 trillion is domestic debt.
Buhari wants to kill Nigeria.

How many bags of rice will you buy with honesty and integrity in Nigeria today?

Colonial mentality.

Still in darkness since Sunday.

Op how old are you? Talk true.

So you were growing up as recent as 2009.

It's a lie.

That Ambo guy dey vex oo, even the abandoned Borno way for my area was reconstructed.
The only public primary school in our area is being reconstructed after Ambo personally drove unheralded to inspect it.

Ambo carry go.

Wishing her speedy recovery, but please take some rest ma, stress is a silent killer.

Standing5:
Proof please.

Nigeria is borrowing about $8 billion to plug this year's budget deficit and last week, minister of national planning revealed plans for an additional $2 billion borrowing to boost the economy against recession.
Please compare that with all that was borrowed by GEJ.

Blame Buhari for stirring up militancy in the delta.

Standing5:
So it is cool if Buhari continues borrowing at the rate GEJ was borrowing? Wailers are very illogical.

Buhari has out-borrowed GEJ's 5yrs in 1 yr.

Jirate:
Is that all you have to say or are you really MA...?

He is ashamed of his buddies.

obailala:
Haha.. I knew I was overestimating your intelligence, I didn't expect you to understand the meaning of that simple statement and you have just proven me right with your bolded question above.

FYI, the economy did not just slow down under GEJ, rather the economy was nosediving before he was booted out; the downward trend was still ongoing and it never straightened out or stabilised before GEJ left so your convenient excuse of "Economy stumbled but was still growing at a slow pace under GEJ" can be only used to deceive ignoramuses. See chart showing the downward trend before Buhari took over.

It has become very obvious that i am expecting you to comprehend something you lack the intellectual capacity to understand so i will save you the embarrassment.

Just ask Buhari to return Nigeria how he met it.

obailala:
Lol... When a person falls, the wise man looks at where he tripped while the unwise one looks at where he fell... Grade yourself as the spirit leads you.

Nigeria's GDP rate started dipping from the highs of 6.5% in mid-2014 and it got to the zero mark in Q1 2016. I am talking of where the problem started and what led to it, you are busy focusing only on where the GDP crossed the zero point. Like i said, you should grade yourself as your spirit leads you. The message here is clear, 'if you must wail, wail wisely'

Again your bogus analogy, what is the difference between where you fell and where you tripped? A man can trip but not fall, as if you do not know that a stumble cannot be a fall.

Economy stumbled under GEJ and continued growing at slowed down pace but completely collapsed under Buhari in 1 yr.

sabams08:
Civic 2006 consuming alot fuel, did a scan and the following error code came out. Please help

The obvious fuel consumption culprit is the Oxygen sensor on the heater (catalyst).

obailala:
As oil prices began dropping, GDP rate started a free fall from a high of 6.5%. It had fallen freely from 6.5% to 2.3% under GEJ (even though oil prices were still relatively high at the time) but you think GEJ was an omniscient and omnipotent saint. who should get no blame because he only 'slowed down' the growth. But strangely you think buhari should take all the blame because he wasn't able to miraculously wedge back the nosediving GDP rate until it dropped below zero.

I wouldn't know what to call this your above logic, whether it is just lame judgement driven by deep prejudice or whether you actually think your logic makes any sense. But whatever the case, I think we should just blame buhari, that is exactly what gives orgasms to jonathanian wailers who litter Nigeria's cyberspace so who am I to take away your joy?

The economy slowed under GEJ but receded under Buhari, your self-inflicted prejudice has prevented you from seeing this reality so stop sounding like a broken record. If it will take wailing to make Buhari give the vital jobs to right people and do the right himself, then i am a proud wailer.

obailala:
Like i said earlier, if you couldn't understand the 'tree' analogy, there really no point engaging you with further exchanges. I agree with you, the dullard is responsible for all Nigerias present problems... After all he didnt appoint ministers for 6 months, how could I even forget that? silly me!

Your tree analogy is disjointed, try another.

Leave Buhari alone, blame me, i caused Nigeria's economic woes.

obailala:
Okay, it is obvious that I am conversing with an illiterate or a prrson who is feigning illiteracy. Because I showed you a graph detailing where the drop in the economy started from but just like a kid, you keep being fixated on where it crossed the zero line. I gave you an analogy that if you cut a tree today, the leaves begin to dry up after a week, but that doesnt mean the tree was cut after a week. The hardest person to wake from his sleep is the man faking the sleep. You are obviously faking your ignorance by you continual insistemce that things went bad only after 1 year of buhari even despite the economic charts I showed you. Goodluck in your igborance.

You have not denied the fact that things got badly messed up 1 yr into Buhari's tenure, you have not also denied the fact that oil slump started 1 yr before Buhari came in, the chart you have being singing about like a canary bird just showed an economy that slowed down and not one in recession. Your analogy of a tree cut down is wild to say the least because Nigeria's economy is still sustained by crude earnings, agric and solid mineral export, the tree is still connected to it's tap, albeit with a decrease in sap suppy which could have been augmented if Buhari had not embarked on wild goose chase of 'fighting corruption'.

Haba! education is not literacy my friend.

AntiWailer:
Only thieves will be scared of spending loots

There are thieves everywhere in the whole world, what we want is for Buhari to return Nigeria to how he met it, that's all.

[quote author=luvinhubby post=49486111][/quote]If we talk now, they will say we are wailers, Buhari is a disaster.

fulaniHERDSman:
Pls allow me to curse and abuse him today .... Obiano onye nna, with all due respect, ibu a big fool for not patronizing innoson. You could have requested for your spec and i believe ifediaso would have delivered. And with that you could have guaranteed your self Nnewi area votes for 2nd term. Who else is supposed to lead the way in promoting ours if not our government?
What is even wrong with our leaders? They always find a way to make you believe only goats get elected. Obiano, you are a great leader but a goat is better than you on this one.

Toyota has a plant in Nigeria, thanks to GEJ, so he still bought Nigeria.

obailala:
I showed you a chart of our growth rate declining rapidly, but you think even though GEJ and his world class crew couldnt do anything when the oil prices were still considerably higher, you expected buhari to wave a magic wand and turn things around with oil prices below $30?... To you and your co travellers it just has to be buharis fault 100% and these are the same people accusing buhari of blame game?.. Tufia... your deep prejudice for buhari has completely eroded the last semblance of objectivity in you.. good night

Oil prices slump started 1 year before Buhari took over and the economy went into reverse 1 yr after Buhari assumed office, which chart do i need again to conclude him incompetent?
Buhari is the president when Nigeria slid into it's worst recession despite inheriting a $40 billion war chest, he has 110% of the blame.

It is a pity that in trying to defend the confused cattle rarer you campaigned into office your likes have exchanged sound reasoning for impoverished sentiment.

obailala:
When you step on the breaks of a moving train, it continues to move for a while (decelerating) before it eventually stops. Oil still sold for over $65 when gej left office, but the gdp growth rate was already nosediving, and had fallen to 2.3% as at the time gej was handing over. Of course just like a decelerating train, it continued slowing down and crossed the zero line after buhari had taken over. See the image below..

https://cdn.tradingeconomics.com/charts/nigeria-gdp-growth-annual.png?s=nigeriagdpyoy&v=201603120907n

From 6.5%, the gdp rate dropped (proportionally to oil price) to 2.3% under GEJ's nose, even though oil still sold above $65 as at the time gej left office but you think GEJ the PhD holder was an omniscient god... Now the already nosediving growth rate fell further to the present -2.06% under buhari, even though we all know oil prices (which gives Nigeria over 92% of its income) dropped further to below $30 at a time, but you think this is all buhari's fault and not a single fault of jonathan or other previous leaders?.... probably you expect buhari to be a miracle worker to automatically turn things around or print forex...

What exactly do I call this your deep prejudice driven baseless and shameless judgement of buhari?

When you step on the brakes of a train it slows down to a stop, it takes the actions of the driver to engage the train in reverse motion, the economy slowed down, but Buhari engaged the reverse of recession by refusing to heed the advice of global economists, including IMF's Christine Lagarde to devalue and remove fuel subsidy July 2015 and save the economy from recession which Buhari refused and asked them the ones was devalued before what has it done for Nigerians?

It is an eyesore watching the naked dance of shame by gullible zombies in the name of defending Buhari.

obailala:
All those negative things I mentioned that happened under GEJ's nose just b4 handover, you call all those progress right?... or sorry, you call them deceleration and when they continued under buhari you called them reversal?... Lawd av merci on your soul...

The nation was set on a high momentum reverse motion as soon as oil prices began to crash, your gej with his world class economists couldn't stop the downward nosedive even though oil still sold above $65 when he left, but you expect the demi-god buhari to swing a magic wand and stop the reversals even though you are aware that oil crashed further to below $30 coupled with the fact that your friends in the creeks plugged out half of Nigeria's output, you still expect a miracle from buhari but you carefully excused gej who experienced much better conditions but couldnt stop the down trend?

You must either hate buhari so much or are just a very inconsiderate, undiscerning human.

Stop typing empty thrash, Buhari inherited $40 billion from GEJ and choose to dish out $3.5 billion as father christmas to silly governors, the economy slowed down but never receded till Buhari came in and choose incompetent folks to run things on our economy.

If you blame my friends in the creeks for Buhari's mess then it has shown intellectually challenged you are like Buhari who was asked how he intends to carry out an all inclusive development in the Niger Delta and he responded by saying that those (Niger Delta) that gave him 5% votes should not expect much from him compared to the 97% (core North). So you expect 'my friends' to fold their hands and watch their resources exploited for everyone else except them. Militancy in the Niger Delta resumed as a result of Buhari's incompetence and if you attribute that as one of courses of our recession, then blame Buhari.

odimbannamdi:
As controversial and seeming nonsensical this man may seem at times, he is not always far from the truth at all. Just like he has said, what a common Nigerian on the street want, at its simplest level, is FOOD. The cost of feeding now is sooo expensive. My best loaf of bread now sells for as much as 400naira, as opposed to its former price of 300naira. Measures targeting a reduction in the cost of feeding should be enacted, and other things will take shape, i believe

However, I still support Buhari's action of pumping money into the economy through capital project and other avenues, as this will go a long way to putting more money in circulation, aiding the movement of goods and services, attracting foreign investors, strengthening our currency and ultimately quelling the pangs of recession.

I pray God gives our leaders the wisdom to come up with policies to move the country forward. Amen

Giving contractors money for building roads will NOT end our recession if nothing is done to drive down cost of living and let the income earner have some residual to spend.
Goods are scarce and expensive because customs are charging outrageous figures on the few still importing to meet revenue targets. FIRS are have multiplied taxes to boost government revenue, today banks and other companies have reduced salaries by 25% because of taxes thereby further driving the economy into deeper recession.

First TSA should revisited as you do not quarantine funds in CBN dormant and banks lack this funds to borrow key investors who will drive the economy.

AntiWailer:
50% oil fall for wia ?

GEJ enjoyed the highest oil price and the most favourable environment for Nigeria to sell oil.

LIBYA had issues

Sanctions in Russia

War in Iraq.

ISIS in Syria.

He got the highest revenue from oil sales for and check history.

Deapite that, there was a month GEJ borrowed to pay salary cos of oil price fall.

Google it..


OKONJO IWEALA predicted this recession 2 years ago

Sanusi predicted same several years ago.


When u quote price open Internet and get corresponding facts.

Crude prices was $62 as at Dec. 2014 from $115 in June, that is over 50% 1yr before Buhari came in and we still recorded positive GDP 1st quarter of 2015.

obailala:
When you cut the tap root of a tree, the leaves don't wither immediately... it takes at least a week or two before the leaves begin to dry up and fall off. But common sense entails that the problem did not start when the leaves began to fall.

Nigeria was on life support and the economy was accelerating to the abyss when the last govt handed over to the present govt. Only ignorant people dont kbow that and only ignorant people argue about that when reminded of the facts. A country that was already borrowing to pay FG workers' salaries, a country that was already owing fuel importers for almost a year, a country whose foreign reserves dropped by $10bn in 6 months even when oil still sold above $65 (meanwhile the naira still crashed from N160 to N220 within few months notwithstanding the $10bn expended to checkmate this drop), a country whose gdp growth rate just within 3 consecutive quarters had dropped from 6-7% to 2.3%. This same country owed all contractors their entitlements since 2014, forcing contractors to abandon site and render thousands jobless, not until this year (2016) when the new govt managed to provide funds to get contractors back to site. I could go on and on, but then, there is no point. People who have chosen to be ignorant will remain so irrespective of what they are shown. So bros, park well!

An ignorant mind is better than an jaundiced and skewed mind. A vehicle can decelerate or slow down in a journey but should never be put reverse if progress should be made.
Buhari put Nigeria's economy in reverse gear by his acts, words and lack of policies. The live wire of our economy is crude oil, GEJ made tangible efforts to add agriculture to it and these two sectors are still on operation, which tap root was cut?
