CSTRR:

Oil prices were low for a time, but they are no longer low.

And when they were low, buhari augumented it with serious debt.
More debt than any leader in our history.

The money is not coming from his pocket.
It's still Nigeria that will pay for it.

vedaxcool is a zombie. School him from now till eternity, he is wired to lick Buhari's wrinkled balls and lie

The vast majority of Nigerians would jubilate for a 2015 economy.

And you think buhari has performed excellently.

vedaxcool:
This is under low oil prices and unprecedented global challenges. Failure is the name PDthieves should be addressed with. They squandered developmental opportunity!

This is was one of Goouck Jonathan’s power project initiatives. There is also Mambila in Taraba that is facing lots of challenges. The funding is from.both the Nigerian government and Chinese government (loan).
Jonathan also did a lot in the area of railway.

Do your findings well before coming back with insults please.

but why wasn't d dam built in Nsukka or any other biafran town

depends on d flow and current of water... Na Jonathan project before u call me a northerner

Believe Jack "Buhari" Obinyan at your own risk. This is the SAME hydro project where 2 Chinese engineers were kidnapped just this week oh, but the project will be "launched in first quarter". You cannot expect ANY development in the face if mounting insecurity, it can never happen. But Buharists are natural idiots so talk first and think later.

CSTRR:

Who were those governing in 16 years?

Aliens?
Is the vast majority of the APC not part of the 16 years?

Is El rufai, amaechi, and over 80% of the current apc not part of the 16 years?

Apart from Buhari and the tinubu ACN, who is in APC that was not in pdp before?

Are you saying Jonathan could not have emerged under the APC?

The difference is the leader, not the party.

And beside, the economics are getting worse.
Atleast, quality of life should remain where apc met it, so we know there is hope for improvement.

The "quality of life" you had under GEJ was heading to abyss of recession by the end of his tenure. I belong to the manufacturing sector and I know what the difference between the past and present regimes. Now that PMB has done quite a lot on capital projects, let the next regime focus on economy.

Though to be fair, it would be very bad if the next president does not match buhari in infrastructure.

We need to seriously invest in infrastructure as well as develop and implement proper economic policies to improve living standards.

That is the bare minimum for 2023.

But with Nigeria, things can always get worse.

There is a possibility that we end up with a leader significantly worse than Buhari.

CSTRR:
The problem is not the party, the problem is the leader.

Roads and Bridges should be the barest minimum for any decent leader.

It doesn't take much to give contracts to China.
And it is a shame on past Leaders that Buhari has best them in that regards.

The real test of governance is changing Nigeria from being the poorest country on Earth, improving living standards and taming insecurity.

Do we honestly believe buhari has the capacity to do that?

Is like this guy drink kai!!! , You seem not to understand that China is doing their best to impoverish Africa through lending and project financing even useless India.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.freepressjournal.in/amp/business/chinas-investment-in-africa-several-countries-cancel-contracts-on-exploitative-unfair-deals

Great African leaders were running away from China and our imbecilic leada is hugging China. Probably you may be one of the sheeps(Aturu) from SW.

Enjoy buhari now while he is in the office.

Things can always get worse in Nigerian politics.

Bandits killed one chinese worker and kidnapped five people at the Dam on Tuesday.

Nice one. More attention should paid to our distributing companies.. they are the father of scam and failure in this country..

You are right.

So it means more power supply for Niger state.

Sannisege:
yeah but we can see what the debt is used for. What did PDP use oil revenue for? Oya tell us

Yeah.....I feel for you.

And the debt revenue is used for looting.....shared to ghosts for phantom SIP schemes.

Sannisege:
Can’t it be built with potopoto in SE? Or is the potopoto only useful as IPOB swimming pool?

Quit being childish

Hammyaladin:
most of them don't even know that Niger water is from neighboring African countries. And if those countries decides to dam them.... We are bleeped.

It has been agreed years ago that those neighboring African countries won’t dam the water. That’s why Nigeria is giving them some electricity, in return. More so, those neighboring African countries don’t have money to build hydroelectric dam.

You belong to the manufacturing sector...great!

Please what is the difference that you are talking about?

CSTRR:

Buhari has borrowed more than all of them combined..

What he lacked in oil prices, he has made up for it in debt.
There is no real difference.

And oil prices are no longer low.

So that excuse is not strong anymore.

How come u type exactly what i was about to reply?
I keep hearing low oil prices when oil is hugging 80 dollars steadily nowadays. And what he lacked in oil revenue during the low oil price days, he has made up for in heavy borrowing.

I know a lot of people and his apologist says he has done a lot, and maybe he has indeed. We can see roads and railways. This hydro project is another. But its just not showing in ways that matter.

When unemployment jumps from 9% to 33%, the same dollar you campaigned with as bad at 197 is now over 410 and inflation is now in double digits, these are what people see and this is what affect their lives closely.

I am waiting for any of the apologist to explain why dollar at 410 is ok when Buhari said its unacceptable at 197? Or where subsidy came from when he said it was a scam before?

And he should remove the damn subsidy. Its bleeding the country at the expense of powerful smugglers. And they should scuttle the planned transportation stipend. Thats just an avenue to steal.

CSTRR:

Your problem is ignorance.

You should be praying for Xi Jin ping everyday when you wake up from sleep.

If China did not develop and become rich enough to provide capital for infrastructure to third world nations, your Future in the 21st century would be very bleak.

You are listening to anti-chinese sentiments from people that have determined your place and destiny as a raw material supplier for indutrialised nations.


Don't worry.
Even the Chinese citizens don't want their govt investing outside their country.

You better pray for your sake, that does not happen.

Taking Ogogoro early morning is bad. You need to upgrade your knowledge in economics to see the plan of China

By the way, why am I responding to your ignorance

We have Agbokim waterfall in Cross River state year in year out wasting, why can't federal government with all this Chinese loans site a hydo electric power station there
The power of the waterfall is stronger than any such in Niger state. Clueless.

See one black man mentality.

Rationalize his statement and you would see the sense in it..are they not sabotaging the power industry so that government will keep pumping funds...while they funnels the funds to private pockets..we are still stucked with epileptic power supply in states of the federation

Just look at our refineries as a case study, then you will see why there's sense in his statement.

Stop lying
Which manufacturing sector did you belong ?
Pls give us the name and address , location of your manufacturing company!
Many manufacturing companies have Closed down or operating at below capacity due to lack of raw materials or high operating cost or both !
Which infrastructure did He build in 7 years .....Lagos Ibadan road and railway were not his project but he continued them ...Same for Second Niger bridge
Travel to the east and see bad federal roads everywhere
Abuja to Kaduna is a death trap both road and security wise
Abuja to lokoja is also bad ...lokoja to Okene very bad
Which infrastructure ...because he completed ongoing projects handed to him?
Kaduna Kano road is bad ...only recently was the contract awarded ...Jigawa to Kano is also bad
East west road has been abandoned ...now worse than it was 7 years ago ...
So where are the infrastructures U singing about
And please don't quote low oil prices ..Every Government has met low oil prices which later rises
Today oil is 76 usd X 435 naira X 1.5 m barrel then you know how much these rogues U defend are making
7 years ago , oil price was 100Usd X 190naira X 1.9m barrel , then you know who really is making more money .
This is apart from high taxes , VAT,etc thrown to us by this government .Still loans !
Problem is most of the revenue are unaccounted for
Most are siphoned through bandirty , BH etc
This is why the Government is always broke ....High military spending occasioned by self inflicted banditry and BH
Can you compare standard of living in 16 years previously to now ? PDP were thieves and no good but atleast they know how to make money and live and let's live..these ones want to eat all alone so people would think they are honest and not corrupt ..but we can see through their thin veils...no one is a fool here
Terrible or lack of planing is the bane of this Government if not ,How does building railway to Niger republic of any use to us ?
Pls stop defending failure in all indices !
When obj became President in 1999 , oil price was 16usd , and no money was left on ground for him as previous Government had blown away all in 9 months
Buhari met oil at 37 USD , plus about 40 bn USD in reserve and still complains .Now oil is 76USD and still complain!
Worse incur more debt and high insecurity leading to hunger in the land
Let me tell you , the country is gradually and steadily grinding to a halt ..most banks now don't even have money to pay its customers...
Maybe you don't know ...stop celebrating failure and masking it as success because of your own personal interest
Lastly , what was oil benchmark for the budget.55uSD
But throughout this year oil solely for between 65_85usd ! Where is the excess ? In the past FG had excess crude account .. Do you still hear of it ?
No, all has vanished

First off, oil has picked up currently trading at $81 dollars per barrel and still your mumu president is still giving flimsy excuses even though OPEC has increased Nigeria's export quota. secondly, Zungeru Power plant was an initiative of the GEJ's administration, he successfully secured the loans from China and payed up his counterpart funding in order to bring construction, construction started as far back as 2013. Zombies like you folks keep spreading false infos all around but thank God for google that's always available to burst your lies.
Under your president's administration, inflation has reached double digits and peaked it's highest, at least during GEJ's administration, inflation was still in single digits and consumers still had strong purchasing power as compared to now.
