No Nigerian President Has Ever Performed Better Than His Predecessor by gidgiddy(op): 9:45am On Aug 04, 2023
Ironsi says there was a military mutiny and he is coming to stabilise Nigeria, he brings in military rule and kicks out democracy

Gowon says there was a military uprising and he is coming to stabilise Nigeria, he spends 9 years there during which time he introduces unitary rule by abolishing the 4 Regions Nigeria had with decree 14 and started creating 12 states, then follows it up with decree 15 which ended resource control

Murtala Mohammed kicks Gowon out, says the country was "left to drift". He spends 6 months there in which time he terrorises Nigeria with one draconian decree after another

Murtala Mohammed is killed and Obasanjo takes over, pledging to continue where Mohammed stopped. He increases the number of states from the 12 Gowon created to 19, embarks on white elephant projects such FESTAC 77 and hands over a military inspired constitution to Shagari.

Shagari comes in and is hit with low oil prices and an empty treasury. His administration drifts from one disaster to the other until his fellow Fulani man, General Buhari, kicks him out

General Buhari takes over, pledging to brings stability. Nigeria witnesses 2 years of brutal military dictatorship as decree after decree is launched to crack down on journalists, throw people into detention without charge, witchhunt enemies and ignore human rights

Babangida kicks out Buhari, introduces SAP(structural adjustment programme) which takes Nigerias economy from bad to worse. All this while brutality cracking down on all opposition to his regime. He also increases Nigerias 19 unitary states to 30

Abacha takes over after three months of the lame duck Shonkan interim government. Abacha takes military terrorism to a new high. Death squads are created, enemies of the regime are ruthlessly dealt with, all voice of dissent are brutally suppressed. He increases the 30 unitary states to 36

The sudden death of Abacha brings in General Abdulsalam who spends one year in office, hastily conducts shoddy elections and uses decree 24 to hand a fraudulent manual known as the 1999 constitution to the civilian President Obasanjo

Since Obasanjo civilian regime to this day, Nigeria has become world poverty capital, 8 most terrorised country on earth, 4 out of its 6 geopolitical zones engulfed in insecurity, 40% unemployment rate and cant conduct internationally recognised credible elections


No Nigerian President has ever performed better than who he took over from

Because we allowed evil men to buy their way into power, we are more concerned about ethnicity than competence.

Jonathan would've performed better than Buhari in 2015
The worst of Atiku would've been better than Buhari in 2019
The worst of Obi will be better than the drug peddling miscreant we have there now.

Too early to judge if we're being honest. He is trying to remove Buhari's economic illiterate dual naira rate policy which I like. Ending fuel subsidy is needed too although we can question the implementation

If the Judiciary doesn't act right, Bola Tinubu is going to be a mistake we'll all regret for the next 4years, whether you voted for him or not.

You Pple now Try to Blame Buhari.😏

Wasn't Tinubu part of Buhari's Catastrophic Administration? 😒

His Boys Osinbajo, Gbajabiamila, Ahmad Lawan, Fashola, etc were active players in that FAILED APC Govt! undecided

One can't give what he doesn't Have! Tinubu/APC are doomed to FAIL WOEFULLY in governing Nigeria!.😕

I'm don't like APC. And you're right Tinubu has to take the blame for giving us the bigoted and incompetent Buhari while staying silent for 8 years.

But it is clear that Buhari was an arrogant president who didn't listen to practically anyone.

Just hoping for a better country regardless of who is in charge.

Our economic potential is still there even though Baba tried his best to kill it

As usual, he wrote a shoddy headline and failed to include one evidence in his writeup.
What does it mean to perform in your dictionary?

The headline is not an opinion.
He made a bold claim and failed to back it up.

There are those who tried to be objective and have failed on this particular topic.
There is no sector or metrics you can pick where you have a inverse relationship between future
and predecessors performance.

You may try it yourself and see how far you go.

Every issue gets thread, you can open that of Zamfara; this one is about south east. Don't you see The Young Shall Grow, Ekele DiliChukwu, Peace Mass Transit and other luxurious boxes are now getting x5 patronage than before because of Igbos that are running away from South East via Night and Daily buses to Lagos, south west and Asaba? If we don't take Panadol for your headache now, ripple effect on host communities may be disastrous. For the sake of good, hardworking and non-violent igbos; how can other Nigerians fold their hands to allow Igbos killing Igbos, Ekpa killing future virtual Biafrans? @gidgiddy, you self think about it now
