I don't know and have never heard of the phrase "eternal borrowing" before but I do know what Foreign Reserves is and I'm sad that you're trying to downplay the significance of our robustly improved FR. FR are dollars bought by the CBN from the FG and kept either in the CBN vaults or in any of many places within and without to act as buffers against economic tragedies. When it is low, the local currency weakens. Robust FR also protects a nation's currency from devaluation which in turn prevents inflation - all to an extent, of course. If FR were as unimportant as you make it seem, why do all the countries the world over take it so seriously? The rise of crude oil has nothing to do with the FR as opposed to your claim. The FR rises when the FG buys more dollars than it sells and vice-versa. If the international oil prices determine our FR, shouldn't it have been highest under Goodluck's admin?

Contrary to your belief, the Sukkuk bond is about 100 billion naira and is exclusively dedicated to financing capital projects.

About the second Niger Bridge, please don't swear on your life or on anything. I typed "2nd Niger Bridge" on the google search bar and was immediately regaled with dozens of recent news items, accompanied by a few pictures stating the details of the ongoing project. Jonathan's government DID NOT start the 2nd Niger Bridge because that government never disbursed a penny toward that project. Make a quick Google search, bro. There's only so much Bubu can do in the face of the limitations with which his administration has been beset. Don't forget that while the previous government was borrowing to pay salaries, Bubu's tenure has been borrowing to put infrastructure on ground. And an obviously learned person like you knows infrastructures drive the progress of a nation.

Bubu hasn't done bad at all. Several laudable projects are at different stages of completion while some have been completed already in spite of all that's happened.

Buhari paid the Paris Club overdeductions to state governors and asked them to offset outstanding workers' salaries with it. Some governors complied while some simply stole as much as they could. Buhari can't force any state government to pay salaries or otherwise, order them on how to spend the money once it's already in their coffers. There's only so much he can do after all.

There's no excuse for what the NDA attempted and that you try to defend their dastardly acts is disheartening. Tompolo is a criminal and a crook. Period. It's alright if you disagree but I won't spend my time discussing the likes of Tompolo and KANU.

I can't type as much as if want but sha know that though Buhari may not be the best man for the job, this Atiku of a somebody na error, biko.

You have brought intelligent discourse to the table.
Very well, then.

1. The topic she created criticised Buhari for supposedly failing the youths, not a general failure in governance. I don't know what has changed since then to occasion the shift but I do know she may be aversed - as I am - to an Atiku presidency.

2. I don't agree with her statement that the only competent minister the last administration had was Akinwunmi Adesina, but generally speaking, the ministers were as bad as the presidency on behalf of which they worked. We must also remember that Adesina was not the only Yoruba minister the last administration had so why single him out for praise if the motive is borne of ethnic bias?

3. It is true that under this administration, the country's debt profile has significantly risen but leaving it at that will be telling but part of the story. The debts were procured to boost our infrastructure (through SUKUK) which was (and still is) grossly lacking. Our foreign reserves, thanks to Bubu's quick intervention, has grown from $30 billion in 2015 to $47.5 billion as at May, this year.
P.s. The FG, under Bubu has borrowed waaay beyond the 10 billion you claim there.

4. It's untrue, unfair and ironic to claim that "Buhari came and abandoned the 2nd Niger Bridge whereas he was the one that actually breathed life to the project in the first place. Funds were disbursed to the contractors last year for the initiation of the project which is now, according to the contractors, 44.6% completed. It would, however, be unrealistic to expect a project of that magnitude to be completed already. Lerrus fear God.
P.S. some major infrastructure have been commissioned under this current government an example of which is the Jebba-Mokwa road which, I believe, is still on FP as at this moment.

5. I don't know why you claim Bubu bombed Cross River state but I'd be grateful if you can support that allegation with a link from a credible news outlet. The NDA is a different topic for another day.

6. Nnamdi KANU and IPOB is another topic for another day.

You made a sincere post hinged on what I believe your conscience is right and not because of outright hatred for Buhari and I respect that.

At the end of the day, the more candidate who is more popular between Bubu and Atiku will win next year and that is the beauty of democracy. However, I fervently hope Atiku doesn't win because discerning Nigerians know who he is beneath all that facade.

OneManLegion:
I disagree on her behalf. She raised strong points in her comment which I quoted and made some reasonable points in the topic she created too. Leave ethnicity out of this, bros.

OneManLegion:
Sabi babe. After reading your comment, I checked your profile and discovered that the last topic you created was a scathing critique of Buhari whom you defend with so much fire now.

What changed?

Officialpdpnig:
What was our foreign reserves before he came and what is it now?

CilicMarin:

Crap!

Ategberoson:
and you think that was all? please if you don't have a political view about something just maintained a lowkey. do you know these nincompoop went along to use money laundering to be indicting themselves abroad money meant for Nigeria.


if not for the censor law I would bring to your view why you would rather stone obj and Atiku rather than vote him

Ategberoson:
if you can point what brought the political tussle btw Atiku and obj and I won't hesitate to do that


Atiku with obj are Crooks that should be chilling inside jail by now

Officialpdpnig:
That is actually true. When you call facts as lies then I wonder your sense of truth.

I may be in the opposition but I will never deny truth when I see it. The words in bold are very true

lionness:
GEJ left a staggering debt all the money looted by his Ebos ministers and cabinets. The only real minister in GEJs cabinet was a Yoruba man who handled agriculture, every other minister were criminals and failures. Even Obi was part of those crooks. And I'm supposed to vote for a thief who did absolutely nothing in his state and left heaps of gbese. and Bubu has now saved over $20 billion and borrowed less. Bubu met dozens of saboteurs, from sponsored MEND who bombed oil lines for over two years to IPOBS who tried to kill his government and a rogue and useless NASS controlled by the opposition among delayed bills and sickness. You know when they say someone is Godsent and willing to do something with little. Yet the same man is fixing Lagos Ibadan, Sagamu, Lagos Aboekuta road, Rail lines linking Lagos Ogun and Oyo. Rail lines linking PH and Abuja and Lagos etc. we have better light and Bokoharam reduced to protesting and newts. Baba met a dead country, and today you see jobs posting daily on nairaland, only the useless youths stay on nairaland blaming their forefathers daily...a lot is happening and Thats why the Indians and Chinese are flooding the country. Bubu is building the Niger Bridge for these useless ingrates, fixing several SE roads that their gods and sons who looted the country dry didn't do for them. Atleast you know some folks are pathetically in love with corruption and trash...
PDP has shown it's a criminal entity with adopting those big thieves and flanking itself with all the confirmed looters of NASS. My SE and their love for looters. Hian!
