Stop insulting the president, you are insulting your nation. Be patriotic for once

Every president in the world is insulted.
Though I can't insult Nigeria's president because we don't have one.
I can only talk to the presidency.
The presidency has failed the country.

Pls oo Oga! We are not fighting, or rather am not trying to get into a scuffle with you.

I just stated an obvious there that's all. He did a project" good of him. But to do it he burrowed money, which begs a question he's own oil money where has it being going? lipsrsealed undecided

It shouldn't be hard to tell us where the invisible projects at high oil prices are located. All the projects he has executed has counterpart funding, at least if you are going to criticize someone do so as an informed person not a bitter critique who will throw around allegations without a modicum of understanding nor research.

Proved him wrong with borrowing money for a feel good project ? LMAO
Can that rail project pay back it's loan ? Can't it even maintain it's self ?

LMFAO! You seem more pained that the project was successfully executed. Doyin Okupe has been proven wrong over and over again. With high oil prices they couldn't even imagine a Nigeria with new coaches all they dreamt of his used shoddy locking coaches. PMB delivered what they couldn't imagine. Think about that everyone your pained heart see Buharis train � roar by!

You are not even ashame that the only thing this government can fully come to achieve is just railway after sending several Nigerians to their early grave with the increments of everything in this country.

At least your useless PDP should have achieved just one thing, but instead it grew bokoharam, banditry,, looting and many malaise still afflicting us till today. Yes Atiku zombie cannot cum without thinking of PMB

Nigeria as I indicated for you, does not sell Brent. Brent is a benchmark for Brent Crude and Bonny Light is same for Nigeria's crude which is part of the OPEC Basket (The only benchmark Nigeria sells under). Put the appropriate chart make e no be like say you actually no sabi wetin you dey type or you want argue in bad faith.

Railway is not an economically viable project really as it's not Profitable and only what economics call a feel good project

I'm not saying PDP are good but glorifying this type of projects shows how backward we are

Yes I supported this government early on but they are far worse than PDP in terms of governance

Completing lagos ibadan express way would have been far more economically viable than this rail

Once he opens his mouth all you hear are jargons, the previous government were able to keep the economy afloat, universities,almajiri, roads, the railway you commissioned years ago and more were being built.

Our debt was very very low compared to now. Buhari, what have you done aside from giving us herdsmen killers, nepotism, division along ethnic lines, banditry, more blood shed and poverty just to mention a few.

Buhari has taken Nigeria 20yrs backwards and it has always been the north that is destroying this nation.

Why don't we compare the two leaders who have served above six years and see who earned more oil revenue.

That would probably be for whoever dropped a chart for you. But whenever global crude price is being mentioned, Brent is the standard. They can go on to break down into Shale and all the others, but Brent is the standard cool

That this administration has performed poorly is not in doubt.

But I think both the President & this OP aren't making the right comparisons here.

The right question should be what's the (Real) Inflation adjusted price of the commodity over these years?

Not just the nominal prices. Nominal prices can be deceptive in inflationary environments.

Why not complete your research by telling us how much it's been sold since 2015.

Kindly understand that this is a fact check based on the statement of the president and how APC have been deceptive from the onset. Making us to believe that for good 16 years of PDP in power they never faced challenges but were being wasteful. Whereas with the little resources this present government claim to have, they are more wasteful than the 16 years of PDP put together.

SmartPolician:
We know say Buhari no get sense, but he raised a very important point. He argued that Nigeria made a lot of money between 1999 and 2014, asking what the previous governments did with the money.

However, I expected the journalists in the media chat, including Mr. Nduka Obaigbena (who's obviously the most experienced), to ask him what he has done differently because he has borrowed to finance almost all the projects this administration has executed.

To add to the analysis, the previous regimes paid much on subsidies.
The higher the crude price, the higher the subsidy.

Coupled with ECA and low debt et al

Use your head, Bubu is just lazily borrowing so technically he has done no infrastructure since he will not be the one who's govt will pay

He did, no matter how your jaundiced heart wants to look at it. The borrowed money will be paid with what money? Borrowed money? At high oil prices these project could have easily been executed and paid for. If you cannot understand that the. You are dealing in sentiments not FACTS
