How is he the best?



Explain, please.

Sparrk007:
All these things you mentioned above are already happening in Nigeria

aremubabs:
Interprete the data in layperson's terms to me, please.

Brendaniel:
Oga you can read it for your self, it is detailed enough for a layman to understand...

shortgun:
C is the only thing different from APC's administration and a military dictatorship

So, in your school, you compare governments using growth in agriculture, industry and service, and not GDP?



[s]In fact, how do you even compare governments using factors that are subject to conflicting realities?[/s]



[s]Under OBJ, oil price was stable and high flying. Yet OBJ averaged 6% GDP growth in 7 years. Under Yar'Adua, the financial market crashed in 2008, and oil price slumped subsequently, yet Yar'Adua still managed to average a GDP growth of 7% in 2 years.[/s]




[s]And even that does not begin to tell the whole story of OBJ's incompetence.
[/s]



[s]Did you know one of the ways by which Nigeria survived the global financial crisis of 2008? It was by reversing some of the sham privatization programs of OBJ.[/s]




[s]You went and lifted data that you cannot back up. So, what if agriculture grew under OBJ than under Buhari? The question is, how much of it reflected in export and not in consumption?[/s]




[s]Do not also forget that insecurity which carried over from PDP's years of mismanagement caused our food production to drop as Boko Haram ravaged Borno (the food basket of the nation). Despite Buhari's many policies, including the free fertilizer programs, farmers lacked the confidence to farm due to insecurity. We all know that Boko Haram appeared on the scene during OBJ, even if they were not physically violent at the time.[/s]




[s]There is more to a statistics than a screenshot. That was why I asked you to explain the data you shared. If you can't explain your own data, then you have no business using it in your argument. [/s]

Like I wrote earlier, even GDP does not tell the whole story.



There are individual realities which make it difficult to compare governments.



But what I won't take is when people single out OBJ praise.




Just like Peter Obi said, our problem is as a result of a cumulative of bad governance. You can't single out OBJ for praise. He laid the foundation for many of the problems we face today.

Brendaniel:
See how you keep shifting goal post....

aremubabs:
Check my last post.



I said GDP is the best bet for comparing, but that even GDP does not tell the whole story.



Statistics is never straightforward because of individual differences.



Mr A may perform better in a test than Mr B. But a test does not tell the whole story about intelligence.




Take for example, the IQ test. Does it tell the whole story about intelligence? Of course, not.




That was why I asked you to tell me why you think OBJ was the best since the return of democracy. You were the one that used a comparative term.




My original argument was against people singling OBJ out for praise.
