For leaving a sinking ship.
The PDP left an economy still on the rise. Your Daura Bubu and the APC wrecked it totally. Go blame the later.

My friend wake up

Politicians are the same everywhere, wake up and be wise.

Nigeria's only way out is to collapse the expensive state structure the military created and collapse them into autonomous, federating regions and see if healthy competion and use of resource control won't change this overnight
This revelation was not revealed by man but by the holy spirit. This is what i have been saying, this military imposed political structure cannot lead to development, even if oil sells at $200/barrel and we have resource control up to community level. The states and local governments as presently constituted are vehicles of corruption. We need to collapse the federation to no more than 6 federating units.

Which on the rise? The economy started its decline one year before Buhari took over. Nigeria's economy rises and falls with the price of crude.

The same governors that pushed for all our savings to be shared are now ministers (after using the money to sponsor Buhari's election) while one of them is running Imo state aground. If you want the reserves, go and take it from Buhari.
Stop dwelling on conspiracies and unfounded bogus claims. You dont have any evidence Buhari's campaign was sponsored by public funds. On the contrary there is evidence that the campaign was sponsored by funds from private pockets.
But campaign aside, you talk as if its only apc governors that were pushing for sharing funds. I do not support rochas ridiculous spending (he is nothing but a bad egg in the basket), but if u are to judge parties by their Governors then the entire PDP should be in jail!

What we need is not necessarily an economic conference, what we need is a developmental conference. We need to sit down and plan a developmental agenda, this development agenda would include social, political, economic, educational, etc., agendas. We need to plan what we wants to achieve by this time next year, in 5 years time, in 15 years and in 30 years time. The conference should no non political and no religious. It should involve and carry along all classes of Nigerians.

OK, let's not duel on conspiracies. Now tell me, where or what is the source of APC campaign funds? That I don't have evidence doesn't mean that I shouldn't be suspicious, given that 4 or more state governors that were vocal supporters and big time players in the APC campaign have/had their states in shambles.

And what about the entire APC? Are they supposed to roam free? Remember Fayemi scams? remember Fashola's scams? Remember that of Aregbesola? Or is it Amaechi? All APC politicians/criminals are worst of or on par with PDP politicians/criminals. Don't just single out PDP.

You see the problem I have with APC sycophants is that you people support based on sentiments (both tribal and religious) and hence, claim to have saints as party members (even when it's glaring that all APC politicians are crooks, liars, deceivers, heartless, etc.), governors and even the so called "incorruptible mofo" in Aso Rock. At least, PDP people acknowledge that they ain't saints but only humans and can err but y'all see it as if APC criminals don't err.

Well said prof.
But will the Tinubus and Oyeguns advise the Oga at the top? It is obvious that some people are getting richer and richer with the status quo ( the dollar millionaires ) and instead of thinking about and for the poor masses, they continue to deceitfully cry over PDP spilt milk .

Do we need conference to give light and fuel? If actually money was recovered from looters and ghost workers not to talk of 2 trillion from TSA, why are we nose diving. It is only when huge trillions from our economy or foreign reserve,are Deliberately, transfered out of the economy that its money become worthless. Very simple, No point going to Church or National Conference.
We are collecting money with a cup and throwing it away with a big bowl. That is comparing corruption with a steady economic policy. The two trillion is like one or less now because many equipment to fix our problems will need to be imported. See sense? We have lost .ore vale from the weakening naira than gained from recovery of invisible money. By the way the 2 trillion was not stolen money or accrued as revenue by the new government. It was just consolidated into the TSA. So what is the praise? Another propaganda and we clap. Chai, dem don lie to me oh.

You said yourself that u have NO EVIDENCE meaning your post is nothing but trash. Stop dwelling on roadside gossip, it wont do u any good!
Its not about supporting apc, but if u have any tangible fact then u must put it forward. Not tales by moonlight of ridiculous fantasies spun by people who have vowed never to see anything good in this govt. Talk with facts not fiction!

GEJ' administ. Got the highest oil boom who would have acted as our joseph of old to save for the raning days or mnth or yrs
God loved Joseph, yes but bible acknowledges that Jacob had 12 sons and they're the 12 tribes of Israel. Jonathan was not Nigerians first president, he was not even the second, he didn't serve the longest tenure yet you guys won't let him be.

If other administrations had laid perfect foundations then Jonathan would have followed suit, Nigeria had problems when he came to power but he didn't blame anybody, he did his best.

His best may not be good but it was his best so APC should stop blaming anybody and do their best too.

The summary of their campaign promises is "remove Jonathan and I will give you what you want"


Nigerians listened to them and removed Jonathan but what are we getting in return?

Blames, aso rock rent, worst budget in Nigeria history, a budget that allocated more money to the VP's books than all the high institutions in the country.

Don't you guys have shame?
sunday2012:
we don't even know what is going to happen yet.
What is happening now is confusion and corruption in the administration, what might happen next is unknown but we should brace up for hard times and advanced corruption

APC claimed to be our Messiah and God gave them a go ahead order. It might take a long time before he looks at us again.

OIL PRICE UNDER PDP RULE OF 16YEARS
From your chat, the oil price didn't rise up to $30 between 1999 to 2003, that's five solid years. So why didn't the naira crumble then. Anyway my advise is that we all need to call a spade a spade.

Btw there is no such thing as media trial. All the corruption cases are in court, and the court is a public institution thats open to the press. Now u would have had a case if the suspects were never arraigned, but unfortunately YOU DONT!

If pmb can not rule Nigeria,let him honourably resign...
things has gotten worst,the media ranting & the blame game is no longer working coz the poles eyes now very clear on what they did to themselves by voting 'change'
so you are saying it would have better to vote for the PDP knowing fully well, the reason we are going through all of this is because they dried up the reserves, stole mad oil money, they didn't encourage investing in any other sector apart from oil or don't you live in Nigeria, why are youths so gullible, any small thing they just start to blame, the president came in at a bad time, oil prices have fallen, we have no other other major investments in other sectors, you expect something affecting the world to not affect a corruption filled country like ours and you expect Buhari to just start making miracles happen abi, how if i might ask would you suggest he goes about it?

All of you blaming the president, please come out and offer better suitable solutions to the problems on ground?

Dude a lot of Nigerians don't think, they just follow follow and do the blame game, never stopping to think and comments using facts on ground, it is very easy for them to just play the game game, so easy.

Here is what I would do

1.Spend more on Power, primary and secondary and tertiary education, and rail transport.

2.Cut costs as much as possible in the Villa and in the Assembly

3.Stop corruption....of course.

4.Get us out of our oil dependency.
It is a lot easier said than done.
Re: Prof. Wole Soyinka To Buhari, Convene An Emergency Economic Conference by banio: 8:24am On Feb 19, 2016
The minister of transport Amaechi was the governor that prevented Ex President Goodluck from saving much. The case went up to the supreme Court and the governor's forum won, so GEJ had to share the excess crude funds. So why blame GEJ

And within that time OBJ was able to pay $16 billion to the Paris club, hosted CHOGOM, Commonwealth games, saved into our foreign reserves and still steal some money. OBJ must be a miracle worker.
Now why not compare with Jonathan's five years when crude prices averaged $100 per barrel.

So what happened to Jonathan's 52% share if the funds? So Amaechi revealed Jonathan from saving. It was also Amaechi that made Jonathan withdraw money from the excess crude accounts illegally?
