It's obvious you have no points to butter your stance. I just showed you the unemployment rate from 2006 and that of now and yet you still open your mouth to support an inept government. You want to compare GEJ to OBJ, you must be a joker, let me state some of his achievements:

1: Telecommunications...e.g MTN
2. Established EFCC, ICPC, strengthened NDLEA and NAFDAC
3.Completely erased Nigerian's foreign debt
4. Raised Nigeria's GDP above 16% for the first time in almost 20 years.
5: Improved Agriculture sector with the reintroduction of Cassava processing plants.
6: At a time when the country's democracy was so fragile, he negotiated with military heads, ensuring that the possibility of a coup did not exist.
7: Tackled the banking sector, made sure Nigerian banks would not steal people's money and declare bankcruptcy.

There is so much more but I think you get it now, never compare a dullard of a president to a well oiled military machine like Obasanjo, never!

Mehn! People are making it look like this is the first time this Buhari guy is contesting presidential election in Nigeria.


I don't follow politics that much, but rumor has it that this Buhari guy has contested presidential election in Nigeria and lost 3 times. I don't know how true the gist is

So, these are the only achievements of OBJ in 8 years? Ok, go back and check Jonathan's achievements in 6 years and compare.

Meanwhile check out the illgotten wealth of OBJ: https://www.nairaland.com/1580013/derivation-deprivation-ii-ill-gotten-wealth

My friend stop arguing for argument sake and accept the fact, GEJ's government is mediocre and Nigerians are fed up! You have nothing else to say but to waste my time with useless rhetorics, what's my business with OBJ's ill gotten wealth, how does that impact Jonathan's failures?

jamace:
The way you shout Jonathan has failed without points shows you don't have a mind of your own, you are just following the crowd.

abbey621:
Why can't you be honest with yourself? I've given you proof upon proof. Which ones don't you understand? Is it the lack of security? the high unemployment rate? theepileptic electricity or the high cost of living for the average Nigerian? Stop deceiving yourself, I'm sure you would like Nigerians to remain blind and accept the mediocre president for another 4 years but this is not 2011, he's not going to have a free ride. We the Nigerian people are no longer afraid of change, no more! If you were paid by PDP better return the money, if na bag of rice you collect better return am, Nigerians are slowly waking up and the wind of change is stronger than ever!

All the things mentioned were caused by past govts and Jonathan is effectively salvaging the situation. Like I said, a rot of over 20 years is not easy to restore overnight. Me collect bribe ke? Foul. I am working out of personal conviction. I witnessed previous govts, and I know the rot they left behind. So, I'm not talking theory. I'm talking reality.

abbey621:
I provided you with real statistics on unemployment. It was less than 7% in 2006 and 18% currently. Are past governments responsible for that? Obasanjo left office with zero debts, what is Nigeria's debt currently? Keep making excuses for Jonathan, it won't change the fact that he has failed. I do not fault him tho, I blame Nigerians for voting on religious/tribal emphasis, 4 years later Nigerians are wiser. No more "I had no shoes", no more "Goodluck na our brother", the wind has blown and we can all see the yansh of the fowl, many Nigerians are ready to vote for change, this election will not be a walkover like 2011.

Nctrice:
Well the obvious question is "why is the Secretary, Military Board, in possession of the few Academic Certificate GMB has?"

jamace:
Between 2006 and now, do you know the population of graduates produced by our tertiary institutions? If you know, you won't be saying this. Moreover, if you know the global statistics of unemployment, you will spare Jonathan.

If it's NEPA bill Buhari tendered I'll still vote for him. We have more than 10,000 PhD holders in Nigeria. Do we have up to 1,000 Generals. It's easier to have a PhD in this country than to be a General.
This was the same affidavit Sambo provided. Now Buhari's own is causing apprehension.
Abeggg... They should tell us something new.

abbey621:
Why don't you enlighten me? At least I graduated during that time and have several family members that have graduated since then. I know the condition of those insitutions. Poor academic standards, constant strike, poor negotiation skills by the government, should I go on? Yea let's talk about global statistics on employment? When unemployment was 8% in the U.S, Obama was almost impeached. When it was over 8% in the U.K, there was protests everywhere. In Ghana unemployment rate is lower than 13%, in senegal, lower than 15%, why is it that a country like Nigeria with so many resources and educated minds find it hard to either create jobs or enforce policies to encourage private sector businesses to hire more people. See my friend, this is simple, Nigerian people are being taken for granted, it is almost evil the way this government has increased the sufferings of the average Nigerian. You can defend Jonathan all you want but the fact remains, he has failed the Nigerian people!

Doyin2:
Only a fool would be moved by all these relentless,perpertual,desperate and wicked moves to discredit Buhari.
It is very intriguing that their only weapon is religion!

Use of a fake twitter handle is and old trick,they should try something else!

I don't believe it would grow with me at all! I don't embrace primitiveness!
