He had capable hands for the Economy.
It's still an enigma to me that the economy of the person they claim was clueless is 5 times better in their watch.
All they wanted was to get into power, they got it and destroy everything.
A car (ES 330 2006 model) I bought 3.450M on November last year, I went back to buy for my Niece, only to find out is now 5.8M last.
They have completely scattered the country

Crude oil prices were at its highest levels during GEJ days which was an advantage and also he had a good and competent economic team led by Ngozi Okonjo Iweala and other economic and financial experts who were picked based on merit instead of nepotism and political patronage as it was during Buhari and now under Tinubu.
Nigeria is now heading into “Gangster Capitalism “ like we had in countries like Russia,Romania,Belarus and other former Soviet Union states…the economy being controlled by criminals and outlaws with government power.

I have attached screenshots of oil prices during GEJ and Buhari years, don’t start arguing ignorantly.
My argument doesn’t mean i support Buhari, personally both GEJ and Buhari failed miserably considering the amount of resources and power at their disposal.

Please read my comment again, it i did not base it solely on oil prices but you cannot take out the fact that that was during an era of oil boom worldwide and every oil producing nation benefited from increased revenues so its a factor oga.
I also made emphasis on his good economic team and policies.
In reality, all the governments since 1999 have all failed so personally am not giddy about any.

... Check all his economic team they were rushed by international agencies

Even the corrupt ones are Allison you can't deny they were brilliant at what they did


APC issue is the right people to do jobs don't come from the region they want it to come from

For APC all positions are reward to regions for supporting them..

. For PDP there were some key positions they were reserve for technocrats irrespective of were they are from

The PDP still had conscience. I can't believe after 8 years I can say this, but yea the PDP still had a conscience. Even the corruption that happened in all the pdp years from 1999-2015, was child's play compared to the corruption that has happened under the APC in just 8 years. APC is a cancer, yet some people supported and rewarded the evil in 2019 and even 2023.

Even the PDP presidents failed. For example under OBJ $16 billion NIPP project failed with the money gone, under GEJ his petroleum minister was arrested in the UK with £18.5 billion, where did the money come from? These people are all the same PDP and APC and whatever platform they come under.
Among oil producing countries Nigeria has the least developed public infrastructure with the little available also dilapidated.

No dey deceive yourself, no be beer parlour forum you dey.

The only reason GEJ take survive his first 4years was say e inherit strong external reserves and oil price at its peak but the next two years to the end of his tenure, the economy don almost collapse.

Going by that logic am sure Nigerians would pay to go back to Abacha days when the dollar was 22 naira and petrol 18 naira.
If our leaders had been sincere and done their job we won’t be wishing backwards.

there is nothing bad to go backward if that was more progressive

A democracy era under pdp was the best period and nothing any apc apologist can tell me no matter how they claim not to be apc apologist

This was how we were deceived that we can have better, now we have seen their better its now abt blaming the country or the people as the fault

He too was part of the problem. He didn't save during the raining days and he too went on spending spree even when the price of crude oil was high. He failed to repair the ailing refineries, placed the surveillance of crude pipeline in the hands of militant and there was upsurge in illegal siphoning of crude oil. Sanusi raised alarm about squandering of 20bn USD by NNPC and up till today nobody was arrested

You mean the same Okonjo Iweala who under OBJ as finance minister cleared Nigeria’s debt? Go and sit down oga, am hyping her until you name a better finance minister Nigeria has ever produced.

High oil prices and a lower debt burden to begin with.

Before anyone comes here to abuse me

1..I am not an APC supporter

2..I don't back PDP either.


Jona had high oil prices. Buhari started off with dropping oil prices and it was only in 2021 that oil prices went up to the 2011-14 level.

Even then we didn't benefit from Buhari high oil prices because we had borrowed up so much under his rule to feed corruption, feed defending the naira and feed growing subsides.


We had the same thing happening in 1973-82. High oil prices and then in 1982, crash. By 1992 we had gone through years of mess and the naira was hovering around 33 to the dollar compared to 1 to 1 in 1978

Every oil country has the same boom and bust. Venezuela was very prosperous in the 1970s. By 1980s the economy was a mess. Iraq too, which is partly why saddam invaded Kuwait. He needed their oil revenue. Ten years of low oil prices led him there.


The problem Jona, tinubu and Buhari and for that matter many of our past leaders share ( Yaradua was a exception somewhat) is that they think we are a rich country. When oil prices fall, we borrow to keep our heads above water and maintain the illusion.when they are high we spend and spend.

Oil was going above 200 naira by the end of GEj regime. By January 2015 , NOI was warning that hard times awaited, whoever won that year. In fact by 2014, April when oil prices started crashing, anyone who remembered 1982 would have had a feeling of déjà vu.
