Kenai:
This is a picture from an article in a London newspaper talking about how Muhammadu Buhari used his soldiers to brutalize traders and force them into lowering the prices of their commodities (even below cost price, resulting in massive losses) during his "Essential Commodities" misadventure.

So, now I get it. When Buhari was talking about "diversifying" our economy using the Army, Navy and Airforce, this is exactly what he was talking about - using the soldiers to brutalize citizens. This is what you get from a man with zero knowledge regarding Commerce and Economics. A man who knows nothing about demand-and-supply dynamics is too unintelligent to know that oil price is not "stabilized" using force.

I've said it and will say it again: Buhari is another NORTH KOREA waiting to happen.

End

Do u even hav an idea of what democracy is?

How old are you? Can you tell us the situational report then in your locality? How was life and economic activities in your area as at then?

Buhari's regime was a ticking time bomb waiting to explode in Eastern Nigeria that depended on trade and commerce while Industries in Aba were suffocated by ragtag economic policies of the unwired general

Let any professor come here to disprove my narrative on how we enjoyed Buharinomics

Buhari sent his Karki boys to invade retail shops in Aba to sell "daily need items" from private shops at a price they deemed justified.

The truth is that he never invaded nor negotiated with companies and suppliers to force controlled prices rather they used koboko on poor retailers thereby forcing most Stores to sell at night or through back doors.

As a result of the threats from the karki boys most shops ran out of supplies or refused to restock for fear of Soldiers who lacked simple knowledge of economics.

The result was scarcity upon scarcity.

We really suffered.

Kenai:
I think you should ask Buhari that question, the Mr. "I Will Jail All Kworrapt Fiffles".

On reading the article, I see a man that warned top civil servants against misusing their offices. I see a men that ensured that merchants don't take advantage of the scarce commodities to make excessive profit at the expense of the public. Op thank you very much for the article. We need regulation in our commerce and trade sectors. Sai Buhari

midolian:

Kenai:
Abeg, face the topic of discussion and shove your empty, unintelligent strawman arguments where the sun don't shine.
The thread here focuses on Buhari's economically retrogressive communist policies. If you have nothing useful pertaining to the topic under review, kindly head to the Romance section and engage your fellow teens who would entertain you.

When I narrated my experience in respect to Buhari's regime, the adolescents on the board who never witnessed the regime except Internet concoctions insulted me because I touched on the deadly regime of their idol - Buhari

The likes of Buhari are sentenced to life in prison in other countries. From South American, Asia and even here in Africa, people want nothing to do with his kind.

IDEApro:
Buhari is the kind of leader who will summon the Central Bank Governor and instruct him to print more money for expenditure

Kenai:
We know them too well - Little impressionable teens swayed more by propaganda than common sense.
You'll find them mainly on El-Rufai's Facebook page where they happily celebrate their ignorance.

dguyindcorner:
and the likes of GEJ are beheaded.

Kenai:
I'm sorry, but your attempt at image laundering has failed.
When you talk of merchants taking advantage of 'scarcity', do you mean the same scarcity brought about by the sanctions imposed on Nigerians as a result of Buhari's foreign policy records?

When developing countries are focused on deregulating their trade sectors and enabling a 'Free Market' environment buoyed by capitalism and hardwork, you advocate for more government meddling and regulation?

God forbid us going back to the archaic economic policies.

dguyindcorner:
You are the ignoramus here. Nigerians are now wiser.

Anything but GEJ TILL 2023

That's exactly who he is. No glossy PR propaganda can change it.

IDEApro:
The reason it seem Buhari is winning the media war is just because certain Yoruba politicians controls the print and electronic media and they are maximizing these channels effectively. But unknown to them the majority of eligible voters are grassroots people that are not influenced by media propaganda but political networking and outreach which the APC is very much grounded on.

you aren't making sense. Only thieves and greedy people criticizes Buhari's policy on trade. Thanks to Buhari our economy dropped massively. It is very simple, whoever desire to make excessive profits on commodity have no business in Nigeria. A capitalist state create two class of group, the Very rich and the Very poor. The Very rich make their money at the expense of the very poor. Muhammadu Buhari policy was to ensure that business owners don't circulate poverty to the masses just for them to make more money. Again, it is a welcome development!!!
