If Jonathan Had Won The 2015 Election Would Nigerian Economy Have Collapsed as Alleged By Malami?





In the past years, some top officials in the Buhari government have insisted that the Nigerian economy would have gone into a free fall if the Peoples Democratic Party had won that year’s presidential election. Recall that last year Presidential Spokesman Femi Adeshina stressed that Buhari's victory in 2015 saved Nigeria from collapse. He noted that the country was spiralling out of control until Buhari stepped in as President.

The same line has been repeated several times by Minister of Information and Culture Alhaji Lai Mohammed. And just recently, Attorney General and Minister of Justice Abubakar Malani insisted that the Nigerian economy would have collapsed but for Buhari. Specifically, he said that Buhari rescued Nigeria from destruction.




That means, if Buhari had not won the 2015 election, things would have become so bad in the country that Nigeria would probably have become a failed state or would become bankrupt.

Are these facts or mere speculations?

To be honest, In 2015 when Buhari took over the reins of power, there were so much tension and division in the country. The polity was so tensed up that some foreign organisations predicted that the country would probably cease to exist. Their prediction was based on the high level of insecurity in the country, political tension and a sagging domestic economy which made many Nigerians lose hope.




It is for that reason that millions of Nigerians wanted Jonathan and the PDP out so desperately. They poured out in their millions to enthusiastically vote for Buhari to salvage the situation and rescue the country.

But almost seven years after not much has changed under Buhari’s leadership. Every major socio-economic indicator is as it was in 2015 or worse. Insecurity has increased, the level of political tension and division in the country is still high and the economy is yet to improve.


In essence, all the factors for which many feared could lead to a collapse of the economy are still present, yet the country has not collapsed. Nigeria still stands as a united entity, it is neither bankrupt nor a failed state.

What that means is that there is no strong evidence to back up the claims that Nigeria could have collapsed if not for Buhari. The administration has not done anything significantly different from PDP. At best, the claims were mere political statements made by the administration to probably demonise Jonathan and the PDP and blame them for the problems plaguing the country.




Indeed, the PDP may have failed to deliver the dividends of democracy in its 16 years of being in charge.

But Nigerians wanted to change that is why they voted for the All Progressives Congress in 2015, but except the party quit the blame game and get down to the business of delivering results, it might end up like the PDP which was booted out of power.

Infact her parent don sabi me. All her friends and family ..


I’m just confused on how I got it. Remember I did the test like I think 4 month or 3month ago in that same lab.. I also did the test last year like 3 times ..

there are drugs that can prevent your girlfriend from contracting the illness just about 6-9k. it can be prevented.
my brother suffers from same, we sleep on the same bed for years but I didn't contract it, though I haven't gone for any test for the past 18 months

stanluiz:
For your first question. People comply because no threat and violence was issued. Ipob has not carried arm. But now they are Armed.

But are you aware that Ipob issue sit at home on may 30 biafra day on 2019 yet people come out and do their business in the whole of south east.

Ipob now create their militant group called Esn uGM so that they will it to subdue our people.

Why was nnamdi Kanu issuing threat on biafra sit at home on may 30 this year. He was even telling people that nobody should come out even their cockroaches in their house. That Esn will enforce the sit at home and we all know how that day ended. Police and Esn clash and lives was lost on both sides.

Question no (2)Yes they are security personnel but people are still afraid. Anything can happen. They only open their business in the afternoon.

come and end this match ooh. I must finish this match, no run for injury time biko

Because we are Lions...


Having Lion as the school's mascot has helped in instilling the spirit of discipline, strength to excel, and pride on the graduates and undergraduates of the great citadel.

The mascot has equally helped in 'Restoring the Dignity of Man' as the motto of the school says, that's why her graduates are amongst those calling the shorts in the country and world over in all spheres of life (not just politics like some schools see as their ultimate echelon for their graduate success). The latest being the current Deputy Secretary of World Health Organizations (WHO) and former DG of NCDC.



Our campus is equally called a den, where Lions live.



Lions and Lionesses!!
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!! (Roaring as response to the greeting above).

your days shall be long, short and precise reply

This is not fair chief... copying someone elses story on another site

sorry

story quite interesting

Juliusmalema:


Don't blame them.

Most of them shouting biafra are stark illiterates.

Even their fugitive leader is a school drop out and his followers ex-convict

who is an illiterate Mr professor and how does it relate to the topic

Buckeyemedia1:
Name one Nigerian state Governor whose election did not reach the Supreme Court? even your messiah Atiku took baba Buhari all the way to the Supreme Court, Keep deceiving & consoling yourself that he did not win, they are already working on his second term.

oga be calming down now.
but at least he was the first person to take fourth position and still was the overall best, and that is why we call him supreme Court governor

But on a more serious note, is bobrisky still a he or she I think we better refer to the guy as it than confusing ourselves diffrentiating he, she or even it

Miracle2020:
so you expect me to believe ipob lawyer more than the US ambassador? Kai Kai this your foolishness will never stop. The useless lawyer that is doing everything so that he can continue sucking you guys dry. I used to think that igbos are sensible but with this kind of statement I have changed my perception.
Mention one country that ever return fighter jets back to the US after being sold.
Before the end of the year, the other six will be in this country.
We even have a contract of training our pilots with the US. Even the maintenance of these jets will be done by the US. The hungry lawyer is only telling you what you want to hear, that's all. Everybody is free to petition the US, that is your human rights. But for the US government to listen to you is another different thing entirely.
So this is the way you guys are decieving the illiterate miscreants to believe that the US is in support of Useless Biafra. No wonder all the followers of that albino are illiterates. They cannot think by themselves, they cannot ask questions. They are to believe anything that terrorist kanu is telling them.
Oh my God! What a foolish organization.

How is Kanu a terrorist?

mytime24:
Even this one is strange

Buhari

mehn dogs are underage wilds. don't joke with your life especially in this country where most dogs go untreated

UGLYSALT:
So i was at somewhere yesterday , and few Top People are discussing the IPOB Sit at Home.

Some are making Good Points , until one man said something that shocked me !!! , Below is what he said !!!

He asked all the people around there !!! , These Guys or Group of men called IPOB or ESN , That Ordered the Sit at Home .... How many of una Don See Them

And Nobody talked !!! - He asked , Where is there Office Located !!! ...... "No Response"

Do they have a Medium where you can communicate with them and ask them Questions ? .... "No Response"

How Many IPOB Youths was arrested , and why did they not Put Sit at Home Order for them Until They were Released .... "No Response"

The Man Continued ........

The ESN or IPOB Started with Burning and Attacking Police Stations - Killing Police Men and Military Men ....... What are there reasons for doing these ? - Remember that when they started this .... The Nigeria Government Never Arrest Nnamdi Kanu .... So why exactly are they doing that !!!

The First Day ..... SIT At Home Order Was Observed - People Who don't Abide by the Rules where beaten and some of their Shops Destroyed
- So for what intention are they doing that

Across The IGBO States - None of the Government Officials Challenged the Order , Banks were closed , School , Markets , Churches .... Even The Governors Obeyed the rules !!!

Coming to Anambra State -November 6th 2021 is the Forth Coming Election .... If ESN Place an Order of Sit at Home That Day , How many of Anambra People will come out and Vote !!!

Since They Started With Burning Of Police Station , Burning of INEC Offices , Killing Of Police and Military Men .... This is a Clear Evidence That These Group Of People wants to Take Over Power , In a very Deadly way !!!

This man Added That ......

A Time will come when ..... IF You are a Very Rich Man in Igbo Land .... and You don't Physically Support The IPOB or ESN ..... They will send you a letter .... which they will use the order you to Close down your business ..... and you know you can't say NO.

What This man is telling the IGBO's is that they should wake up now .... before this Sit at Home rule .... will turn to what Taliban are Doing to Afghanistan.

from the opinion poll here on nairaland concerning the topic you have created, what have you noticed

Diokpara:

Guy explain more
I don't understand you

wayback 2014 during Jonathan's regime when he was all about restructuring, I thought the guy was a YouTuber or more of a noise maker because of the way Jonathan ignored him. straight up to the time he changed goals and said it's breakup that's after he made some Revelations about this country and loo and behold Buhari from no where made the guy a public figure.
back to your question, if we were asked whether this guy was going to be as popular as he is today to the extent that a good number of those who don't follow or buy his idea will always live to fear him I know a good number of people will say no but this is the reality we live in today.


Truth is that, any rational human being you must agree to lots of his ideas.
it's just to obvious to deny
