With what we are seeing in the country today, mhen, I really commend and appraise Dr. GoodLuck Jonathan. He was a great leader and Man. Honest no be by Gra Gra.

I remember my 1st Salary as a Field maintenance engineer for Telecom based stations in 2012 - 85,000 per amount. Mhen, Life was good.

Looking at the Stats of Nigerian presidents and their regime, you will do nothing but praise Jonathan. All the evil some people did to Jonathan, it has bounced back on their heads, no wonder nothing they do progresses, instead they inflict more pain and pain. See some stats below 👇

Smh.

GEJ that owed salaries for several months and most of our soldiers killed by Boko Haram

HacheNoire:
Still far behind what His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) has done for the country.

Exactly 💯 the hardships and torment that Goodluck Jonathan gave us Nigerians is FAR - FAR behind anything we have ever experienced under the Bulaba-in-thief ashiwaju Ebola ahamead tilumbu 😏

Peter Obi is around the corner

franchasng:
Some of you just talk anyhow.


Nigeria's problem is not revenue generation like Bola Tinubu made you people from his region to believe.


Nigeria's problem is inability to manage whatever we have judiciously and sincerely for the common good of all.


Nigeria need a human, empathetic, sincere and prudent leader to manage our resources using scale of preference.


Tinubu is governing Nigeria with corruption, selfishness, nepotism and wickedness.


If we do a scale of preference in Nigeria, Coastal Highway and other useless new highways Tinubu started constructing are not on the list of Nigeria's top priorities, so why embark on them? Because he wants to enrich and reward his friend, Chargoury and also indirectly cement his family's fortune.


Tinubu's lopsided appointments no matter what, in a very multiethnic nation like Nigeria that has been surviving by a delicate peace/unity is devilish.....it can destroy Nigeria.....it discourages other Nigerians from being patriotic towards the Nigerian project since the President feel that they don't matter simply because they are not from his tribe and did not vote for him the way he desires.


No nation is governed with nepotism, bias, unforgiveness, corruption and playing politics becomes great!



Nigeria's problem is not revenue generation or lack of revenue but poor management of existing revenues

God bless you my good man

LordBiden:
No Jonathan only inherited a great economy from umaru yar adua

Politics is not a game of greed but integrity.

Stop trying to make it look like GEJ was a saint. They stole their own money as well. The only difference is that APC knows that politicians only want money and is taking advantage of it. Isn't it during PDP period that snake swallowed money?

The exchange rate was gradually declining because politicians kept stealing money that would have developed this country. Now the country is decaying even further with APC in power.

nairalanda1:
Your comment is why Balablu is in charge, and why we never get better leaders.

Until you understand why your economy and country is bad, you are going to keep on getting tinubu in charge. And you will never be happy about it.

When you understand why, that's when tinubu will be removed from power by magic, and we would get decent leaders.

Support your TUluMbU in peace and stop pretending. Mtcheeww

Lithiumite:
You people with all your dysfunctional comparative analysis.....the minimum wage to pms price wasn't the real value pre tinubu, previous govts were paying subsidies so if you were to factor what givt was paying thats when you get the real value.... you must also remember that they all were complaining subsidy wasn't sustainable and they all attempted to end it.

Nigerians don't need all these long grammar, just tell them how you have improved their lives while you and your cronies have been swimming in luxury, abi Nigerians are not seeing the lavishness of politicians while they themselves suffer?

Your economic policies should improve things, not make them worse and be giving long grammar excuses.

It's big lesson

The poorest of them all is this overrated Tinubu

Theres are not the real rates of dollars as at then, it was heavily subsidized.
You can argue that subsidizing is part of governments function but they are artificial rates

Nigerians with short memories. During Jonathan era no pandemic, no war, oil price was at high level and yet he couldn’t do any big projects..only project on drawing boards and paper. You can package him for dullards.

nairalanda1:
So, that means that GEJ had bad government?

Remember the same grid collapses under Timunubu...happened under GEJ, promax.

The reason why the power supply does not work is because GEJ signed a privatizaiton law that prevented them from setting their prices. See the result. (Buhari and tinubu maintained the law).

Also, the man failed to fight corruption, and also refused to commot subsidy totally, because he wanted to get elected. Same reasoning tinubu is using now to refuse to remove electricity subsidy.

The day you realize all our leaders from independence to date are the same in that government revenue comes from whatever raw mateiral we sell, not taxes and what we produce by industries for export, is the day you go stop saying God bless GEJ.

I no dey like APC. Everything your GEJ does, APC dey do am. GEJ in turn just repeated the same mistakes all the predecessors made.

You guys, be it APC, PDP, ADC , always settle for less. You deserve better.

Years after, you lots still blame GEJ. How shocking! Disgraceful

Greedy Nigerians had thought other leaders would do better. Not knowing they were chasing their destiny helper away , being Goodluck Jonathan.

Nigeria/ns has now become a shadow of itself.

All we do now is going to church outa frustration, now ripping ourselves the more through tithe and offering, thanksgiving and first fruit offerings by these godless men of God. Skyrocketing poverty..!

Poverty & hardship has really prevailed

Lool

We are not ready in Nigeria.

As someone said

We Nigerians are afflicted with the Messiah syndrome or how did they put it

Always looking for the next best thing

Goodluck promised us this would happen

But we all voted him out nevertheless

All he said is happening live and direct.


If another person enter 2027

We would wish Tinubu continued the good work too

obonujoker:
Trash

Support your balablu in hunger and allow us to mourn missing a good leader who had the heart of the citizens

Keep entertaining your fellow low thinkers with the trash you wrote.
How did Gej tried? The same man met our fx reserve at over 42 billion usd....despite increase in oil price for at least two years, he left it below 29 billion usd.

No legacy project. Chop chop government

Difrent:
Theres are not the real rates of dollars as at then, it was heavily subsidized.
You can argue that subsidizing is part of governments function but they are artificial rates

These excuses are nonsensical. What does "real rate of dollar" matter to a Nigerian? Did it improve his life or make it worse.

Ok dollar is at real rate and no subsidies, so explain it to the Nigerian how that has changed his life for the better. Abi your mind no de reason this balablu wey you de talk?

I wouldn't really say he tried. It is just that, his successors failures are bigger than his. All of them are failures with different degrees

The two times Nigeria's economy nosedived beyond repair was during Buhari's military and civilian regimes. Each regime saw a major drastic fall from what used to be a normal. The man was a terrible manager.

It's obvious you lack zero understanding of how a country economy works....
How many Nigerians benefitted from the fx subsidy during buhari and Gej tenures?
The systemic corruption during their tenures are unprecedented. Nigeria was doing father Christmas with our petrol to other countries, yet some people are milking the economy dry.
Buhari in order to please people allowed the subsidy to continue but we were losing at the international stage. We were borrowing to pay salary. Airlines could not remit their money

Goodluck Jonathan, the man for the people, God bless you sir

Field Maintenance Engineer - 85,000 in 2012? You must be third party employee (contract staff).

President Jonathan tried with cash flows but he was a naive politician with little experience in the game.

you guy kept saying game game . He is a good man and game you mean is wickedness and fraud

T-Pain is nasty and pervasive. It shall also pass.

LordBiden:

Umaru Yar adua of just 2 and half years, you are joking right?

See, I no wan know the statistics Tinubu dey give us, the guy has failed and is still failing. We do not ask for $1 trillion economy, all we ask is good governance and not audio bulala

My babes dad is a military veteran and she handles his pensions and emollients and is was surprised when she told me today that her dad's pension had been reviewed upwards from 70k to almost a hundred....thats some progress,the presidentvpromised it and he is fulfilling it,she confirmed the old man was very elated and it will still cover some basics for him......thats just one of the other things govt is doing to help the people.

Every sensible person knows subsidyvhas been removed and the currency has been devalued thus it won't be an easy ride for Nigerians.

AsomughaChuks02:

Spoken like a typical Nigerian. Dem don use suffer scatter Una brain. For your mind if Jonathan na the do or die type na im go be not being naive.

Somebody that started as local government chairman, you think say e dey easy to retain power in Nigeria if the us government no dey your side.
