Sometimes I feel for the “poor” Nigeria voters who are constantly fed with half-truth and in some instances, outright lies. We are at it again, being told how perfect, stable Naira was under Buhari. To even quote GMB, . http://www.thecable.ng/exclusive-interview-im-opposed-muslim-muslim-ticket-says-buhari/2

Two things are involved here:

1. At no point during the administration of IBB was naira N80 to a dollar, the highest it was at parallel market was N21.90

2. When Buhari took over in 1983, the Naira was exchanging for N 0.724 to a dollar, by the time he left office, the Naira was exchanging at between N1.5 to 1.7 in the parallel market. We will make use of the N1.5 exchange rate.
From 1983 to 1985, the Naira moved from 0.724 to 1.5 representing a 107% depreciation of the Naira!

The question therefore, with 107% depreciation of naira from 1983 to 1985, how stable was the naira under Buhari?

U no go school... Convert the whole money to kobo 1st, then use that same yard stick u used to judge GMB to judge GEJ

This is the best post I have seen in Nairaland in a long while. Thumbs up.

Thanks...

I advise we all drop sentiments and try move Nigeria forward even if we don't reap the fruits our children and grandchildren would...

Thank you once again!

chekasforchekas:
Don't be sentimental it's not ignorance rather its exposure and fanaticism.

Am not sentimental... If I was GBU would be last person I would vote for

yuncka:
Thank you my brother oo, only if we can think straight and vote wisely.

But ignorance and sentiment won't allow some people to quit living in bondage.

Sincerely am from the South just like GEJ, a christian just like GEJ but the most important thing am Nigerian... Whenever I travel abroad am addressed a Nigerian abi na oyibo man I wan dey explain say na from South South I from? If GBU would perform better he has my vote then. He's my brother just like GEJ.

chekasforchekas:
The truth is that Good luck will not offer us anything better than worst if voted in again, but my worst fear is that Buhari will offer us the worst to worst, on many areas because of ethnic and religious matters, all the same on the day of election, I will vote whoever my mind wants me to vote for.

Shouldn't we try GBU? Just like Ekiti ppl did with Fayemi and saw he is not good went back to Fayose?

We need to unite on this...

Dem no know say dem don old

I have been thinking so much about the upcoming elections in 2015 and here are my thoughts. The present administration has been here for four years now if not even more and it has really not shown great signs of being able to lead Nigeria to its desired promised land. I can say its an administration choked with ideas but just can implement just few. An administration which would boast of developing many sectors especially Agricultural Sector with its Agricultural Transformation Agenda (ATA) claim to have provided subsidized farming inputs for over 4million farmers and in a year just 250,000 farmers were engaged in producing 1.1 million metric tonnes of rice and yet the price of rice in the market never dropped it fluctuates within N7,000 - N10,000 per bag.
Also will the present administration claim to have changed the Power sector and yet Power Supply in Nigeria is on a decline, recently where I reside can only boast of 4 hours electricity in 24hrs and the 4 hours is from 12 midnight to 4am, you can imagine that. Yet there have been promises of steady power since 2010. They will claim again the transport sector has had a face lift with introduction of rail system, a rail that takes over 24 hours to move from Lagos to Kano is that development? Should we talk of the millions of jobs they claim to have provided? and yet poverty and unemployment is what we have.

Let me share a friend's experience with you guys, I have a friend who paid money to join this federal task force which is a SURE-P project. He successfully join them and meet with them in Ketu/Ikosi area of Lagos regularly, they don't have salaries yet but they still assemble, they have opened salary accounts but nothing enters. I was like how do you now cope with transporting yourself there, he said he uses from his savings with the intention they will pay up even with arrears. I was like okay but where I couldn't help but laugh was then he told me they asked them to contribute to build an office for themselves. And I was like who does that?

In a nutshell we should accept that this present administration is struggling with its ideas and its taking ages to implement the few they have and I can bet if given another 4 years they would keep moving in circles and wouldn't take us to anywhere.

My suggestion is this, since we are the masses and we have the power to elect, Nigeria is like a Television, this present government is like a channel and we the masses have the remote to the Television. I bet everybody changes channel when they are bored of a particular programme a channel is showing and return back to that channel if other channels are even worst than the previous. why don't we deny them another 4years and vote another party for 4 years if they are better we would come back to them. Another 4 years without direction would not be good for this our dear nation because it seems everyone is already on the edge. We have stuck with this party for 16 years and yet they are finding it difficult to deliver, let's don't consider this situation as a devil you know. Let's taste other waters that's what democracy is all about.

Am supporting the opposition because I want change. If the desired change can't be gotten I would switch back simple.

Let's consider these as the electioneering approaches.

Thank you.
