Was Ex-president Jonathan A Prophet When He Said This? by Pinkybush(op): 9:56am On Feb 19, 2016
Ex-President Jonathan said this during the 10th National Convention of the PDP. Could he be likened to a prophet?

"The choice before nigerians in the coming elections is simple: A choice between going forward or going backwards; between the new ways and the old ways; between freedom and repression; between a record of visible achievements and beneficial reforms-and desperate power-seekers with empty promises"

He didn't have to be a prophet. He knew that the crude price was falling lower and lower. He also knew that nigerians where shortsighted, with short memory and would quickly forget what they have lost or where they could have been if they had not stolen everything stole able.

He also knew that nigerians are like the Israelite that forgot the pains and hardship they passed through in Egypt and wanted to go back there just because of the hardship of crossing wilderness to the promise land and by so doing, they quickly forget what gain whatever they have gotten by being freed from slavery

He saw it comming, he knew that the commuter president was desperate for powers. Now they have admitted that he had good idea for the country. May God bless every oxygen he takes and co2 he exhale including his body metabolism

Flesh and blood hath not revealed this to you my brother..........

Nigerians can complain. Proverbial hypocrites that want to go to heaven but do not want to die. You want childbirth but do not want anyone to see your unclothedness.

You are still blaming GEJ abi?
Buhari's is almost one year in office and hasn't recorded any notable success either.
The economy is collapsing, Boko haram is still very much around.

The only thing making progress is Buhari's Global Tour Initiative which has made him visit nearly 20 countries in less than 12months with funds from the 'empty' treasury he inherited.

Buhari is actually taking us backwards.

Jonathan is an intelligent man he knew the economy of the country will worsen due to the way his corrupt cabinets is embezzling the nation's resources thats why he relinquished the power and our fulani brother was happy to be in control. who are people blaming now Jonathan or Buhari?

It's no prophecy, he was already planning austerity measures while he was president, even when the oil price was high. but he could not succeed then and would have been worse than buhari now cus stealing to him is not curruption.
Re: Was Ex-president Jonathan A Prophet When He Said This? by Kestolovee95(f):
Let me sound like an idiootic APC zombie.




Sai Buharii, don't you all know that our oil is falling, how do you expect our lord and master buhari to have the slightest clue on how to fix the economy after making all the 1$-1N promise. We in the APC wanted power and now we have gotten it, nothing else matters. You #Wailingwailers can go and die. #SaiBubuuuharrrrrri

No Jonathan was not a prophet. He was a simpleton who was being coached to sound like Mandela. A thief, a robber of his own people, a robber of the poor and an enricher of his own enemies. The weakest and most stupid man ever to be given given office .

Re: Was Ex-president Jonathan A Prophet When He Said This? by santos247(m): 5:01pm On Feb 19, 2016
Let Jonathan and his co-travellers go and sit down. They brought our nation to its knees by what they did and what they failed to do. If we had built our reserves during rainy days, we would be able to insulate against the dwindling prices of crude in the world market. THose who claim Buhari and the CBN are wrong, i dare ask...What alternative policies do they suggesthuh
As a lay man, i have considered this:
Devaluation of naira: Genuine importers of raw materials will buy dollar at 350-400 naira, price of their finished good will increase. Purchasing power of everyone will drop. including the masses who dont deal with forex, BDC etc.

What is the proportion of Nigerians that is affected by 1 dollar = 350 naira today compared to when naira is devaluated??
With the current regime, Every demand for forex outside genuine importers of raw matertials buy at black market (including those of us who buy cloths from Aliexpress, ebay etc..), including those who enjoy luxurious Dubai travels. Does the current regime affect Mr Salako who eats Garri (ijebu), Tomatoe (Kano), Onion (Sokoto), and Beans (Adamawa) and palm oil (Ondo)huh Does it affect the cost of taking the average civil servant from his house to workhuh Does it affect the cost of buying 1 bag of Dangote cement to continue his 2 bedroom bungallowhuh
Am sure tie and dye from Abeokuta or Aba made Jeans shoudnt be affected. So who are the real victims of this current regime of FX over-demand in the market?? My lay man perspective you may say.........
