Hit like if you think the OP is high on local herbs.

BrosPeter:
OP datolee:
Very nice of you to disprove all the lies of this barcanista guy.

I think APC should withdraw their funding of barcanista, the money paid to the guy is a waste as proven here.

boujaye:
Your comment is not on point, don't distract. Please face the debate raised by the OP. what is your point, tell us!!

nigerianvenom:


no,u are wrong on this.buhari has a lot to offer.
1. he'll ensure sharia is implemented across nigeria.
2.he'll ensure his boys(boko haram) ends their operation.
3 he'll ensure there is no freedom of information and journalist will be guage and jail at will.
4 nigeria's capital will be moved to daura(his home town).
5 he'll do more...

but all these will happen on his dreams

barcanista:
We agree on the GDP per capita based on PPP and inflatIon. Thanks for that of the debt

First, I never said GMB operated surplus budget, except when you uplifted it fromm SR. Anyway, from my research, the Budget deficit under GMB was reuced by 21%, which implies 21% Growth in 1984. You should rather spell this out than shouting deficit deficit like it detoriated under him.

3.On Refinery.....
- they had the idea b4 GMB came to power in NNPC of building refinery

- It took a Buhari to implement the Idea and Signed the contract for both refineries under the leadership of Obj.

One Question:
Who built it? Who Signed it?

.. He maintained a vibrant foreign policy with Africa as its principal focus. Nigeria was already a failed state economically when he seized government from Shagari. We had a staggering foreign debt load of US$18 billion, so B[b]uhari stopped all further borrowing[/b], and in defiance of the IMF and World Bank, provided a home-grown alternative to the IMF’s SAP and pegged the exchange rate of the naira at one to the US$1.50. He stopped all further borrowing from abroad; instituted counter trade for essential or desperately needed commodities and put a ceiling (or an upper limit) on the amount of foreign exchange earnings to be used in servicing foreign debts. After sorting out and rejecting all the dubious and unverifiable foreign debts in our portfolio, he paid off nearly 50% of the genuine debts by the end of his regime in 1985.

I think maybe we should rewind to you initial statement which you presented as fact



I will ask you again, with the evidence provided, do you still stand by your fact that Buhari initiated the Warri and Kaduna refineries? Please, go through my post here, I have always highlighted the keyword, initiated.

My simple argument is that he did not initiate any refinery as NNPC chairman... Fact number 1

He did not sign the contract for Warri refinery ... fact number 2

The question of who signed the contract is subjective, I could say it was signed by the petroleum minister, that is if there was one then. Since we do not have the document, it is very difficult to say who signed the contract on-behalf of Nigerian government. Nowhere in the report did it say that the contract was between NNPC and CHIYODA CHEMICAL ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION COMPANY OF YOKOHAMA.

Yawns!!!!


Op, na only u waka come.



There are those that believe that there is no God and yes! It's an opinion I guess.


So, enjoy ur two minutes fame, it's still BUHARI to Salvage wat Jonathief and his herd of militants and sycophants av feasted upon n devoured in the Nigerian state.

abacus:


Thank you jare..

I also got this from SR.. This is also on Buhari

lordOM:
For the learners supporters#

APC support group,the best way to win the hearts of Nigerians is to rationally criticise the ruling party(PDP) and not trying to discredit their government.

I for once have never seen any tangible thing done by the present CIC of Nigeria but its better to have a devil around you than a malicious saint.

BUHARI and APC will fail in the upcoming polls cos you can't build a mansion on a swallow foundation.


NGENE UKWENU pls detest from that propagandous and malicious lifestyle.Quote me as many times as u feel like.#truthhurts

kenex4ever:
am happy dat all d apc e-rats now see datolee as famous( in other words: they accepting defeat one by one). How can a totally blind man(barcanista-it's unfortunate he is my fellow barca fan) lead the one eyed(other apc e rats:berem, omenka, n co)? Only a blind man never accept defeat because he's got no eye to see it. His single eyed followers are already backing off in shame.

coldFLARES1:
I simply cannot get the delusion that makes people like the Op want to engage in e-war all the time. Jonathan is the best abi? A prayer was said for the supporters of GEJ yesterday and of all the raving crowd of GEJ supprters, only one said 'Amen' with conditions.
If you are doing your job, I would excuse you but if you are so paranoid as to be fixated on a sustenance of misrule, ineptitude and corruption, then you need redemption!

Neyova:
They are doing you

Aksonman:


Abeg, u didnot check shi-shi, criminal like you. Are the links from CBN and DMO not verifiable? Omo Buhari oshi!

If there was an election in Nairaland today, I think datolee will win it hands down. This just shows many people knew barcanista was lieing but couldn't do anything about it.
VOTE DATOLEE FOR KANO STATE GOV 2015

lacasa:



Comprehension is a big problem 4u

barcanista:
First, you said Buhari played no role.

You later questioned how could a Refinery be signed in 77 and commissioned in '78

Later you said you don't know when the contract was signed.

And Now you are saying it could be the Minister.....

Let me Come In:

1. GMB was instrumental as it was during his supervision that the Refineries in Warri and Kaduna was signed/built.

2. I am sure you are clear

3. Buhari signed the dotted lines. It was entirely under his jurisdiction

4. GMB was the Petroleum Minister since 1976 and also NNPC Chairman(which he assumed in 77). He held both roles till july 1979(if I'm not wrong)

Thank Yoù

It is on record that GMB initiated nothing, he only signed contract as NNPC chairman as the decision to build the 2 refineries was initiated in 1974 when Buhari was nowhere in the government. Here is extracts from NNPC website:

nairaman66:


PDP TANoids are afraid of change! What has the PDP leg government achieved in the last 16yrs of democratic rule? It has been one hell of a bumpy ride for Nigerians- Colossal corruption, nepotism, jingoism and cabalism! This system must change and I don't see the PDP giving us this change!

Obviously Buhari is not a saint, but he definitely has the credentials to take us there!

datolee:


You made me remember one joke by Dave Chappelle, He said that "women" will take argument everywhere just to win them.

Maybe I will have to remind you again what I wrote in the OP



I will repeat again, and we can go over this as many times as you want today, The decision to build the two refineries wasn't taken by Buhari, He did not sign the contract for Warri refinery and the name of who signed the contract for Kaduna refinery is subjective because we do not have the document. Giving Buhari the accolade as initiator of those refineries is a slap on the face of those who made the initial decision.

One final question for you: Did Buhari initiate the construction of the two refineries as you wrote?, yes or no and we will move on.

Thanks for your time and all the best

barcanista:
Thank You very much bro, I had to ignore people that had no clue(attacking me). I wish I can access materials that talks indepth on the economic regime of 1984-85

barcanista:
Its only a blind man that will not see the progress of our economy made by the Buhari regime. Not even the OP could fault it, though he tried to unsuccessfully.

lacasa:



The Op's seeking his cheap two minute claim to Nairaland fame.


It's a cheap ploy!

Candyrain:
No one is saying GEJ is the best and neither is Buhari a saint. Just that GEJ is a lesser evil compared to Buhari. Thanks

People sef....we are really the architect of our problems.
Buhari from 1985, still contesting for presidency 30years later and some people are proudly supporting him but when an old man is made the chairman of your town meeting, you revolt.

Some nigerians need to grow up.
