ashjay001:Are you high? Even a blind, deaf, and dumb person will not make the mistake to compare GEJ and Buhari. Should we start with the growth rate, inflation rate, amount of FDI, power, price of fuel, ease of doing business, economic rating, agriculture, rail, automobile, steady reduction in unemployment rate, electoral reforms. Please, don't be a Zombie! OBJ's only tangible achievement was clearing our debt. Yaradua's only achievement was putting rule of law in the foreground (something PMB is bent on destroying). The only star in the military era is OBJ, the others were idiotas including the few democratic despots like Shagari. So there's no one there to compare with GEJ. GEJ had better abilities than PMB or any other leader in Nigeria's history. It is a fact. All those who wanted Jesus Christ or Mohammed like yourself are kids on the inside of an adult frame. You guys wanted him to solve Nigeria's power problem, he sought out to privatize it, you guys said he was dashing it off to his cronies. Nigeria's power problem cannot be solved by a government. We need over $100b to get constant power in Nigeria. That is the entire sum of 5 years of GEJ's budget. They say he didn't build enough roads, but they were unable to track the number of roads he constructed which was attested to be more than any other government. They say he allowed corruption to thrive unhindered, and we ask why has PMB not prosecuted any body in his party? But you wanted GEJ to prosecute people in his party? You say he was weak, but when NOI uncovered thousands of ghost workers, there was zero fanfare. They say he didn't save, but when he took the governors (led by Ameachi) to the court about depleting our savings and lost, Nigerians who were not queuing to buy fuel did not think it was their business. They say he was soft, but when he started the War on Terrorism against threats by the Northern elites, he was not strong. When he resolved a 13 year (1998-2011) minimum wage dispute barely months after being elected and increasing the wage by 200%, he was not strong. When he stood against the fuel marketers cabal to remove subsidy, and Nigerians foolishly sided with their oppressors, he was not strong. When he fought against the generators and power cabal to disband PHCN (something OBJ could not do in 8 years), he was not strong. You said he was not able to address terrorism but the ammunitions he bought are still being used to prosecute the war 10 months after he was gone. He set up military tribunals to try treasonous soldiers who were sabotaging our war efforts. You said he is a PHD holder that wasn't able to motivate people, and if you were not motivated by his "I had no shoe" speech, or his "my ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian". You said he was not able to propagate his message and I begin to wonder if you have been living under a rock in 6 years when he was able to carry out the largest privatization sale in Africa without a hitch from workers, NLC or private partners. Do you know what a disaster that would have been if Buhari and his 40 thieves had oversaw that sale? Show me one functional democracy where the opposition is bullied? Is bullying the opposition the mark of a great leader or that of a tyrant? So you want him to be like OBJ or Chadian, Cameroonian, Zimbabwean presidents where opposition figures are thrown in prison and there is no freedom of speech. If bullying the opposition is the only achievement you can point to me as the achievement of Buhari, then you are an enemy of democracy, an enemy of Nigerians, and an enemy of free speech. You deserve what you get in PMB. GEJ is not and will never be in the same league with PMB. PMB is a senile trash that rode into power on the back of acclaimed thieves (Tinubu, Amechi, Saraki) and disillusioned amnesiac vegetative Nigerians like yourself. -Lord 1 Like |

ziccoit:What you just said is nonsense. A good leader carries people along and leads by example. If things are bad with the Economy, a leader must be able to relate with the people and tell them what he intends to do to alleviate the issue. Nobody is expecting a miracle, what we expect is a leader who is in touch with the people so that the people will know that they have not been forgotten and that something is being done. Instead, what you have is a president who has been to almost 30 countries in less than a year, a president who does not even know his own budget, a president who has not been able to tell any Nigerian in concise terms what his economic policy is, a president who's abysmal human rights records includes shooting of unarmed Biafrans protesters,killing over 700 Shia Muslims and bombing of Niger Delta creeks. You have a president who doesn't even know what the rule of law is when he questioned why Dasuki and Kanu should be given bail, a president who has virtually northernised Government. This was a man who globally disgraced himself by going on Aljazeera to admit he doesn't know his own budget and refused to view footage of his own security forces shooting unarmed IPOB protesters, thereby negating his sworn oath to protect all Nigerians against internal and external aggression. Buhari is a fraud, a jester and a downright useless leader. For those who still believe in this man, start learning how to be a good manager of disappointment. Anyone 3 Likes |

LordAdam:If only u'll allow ur brilliant mind to be objective. With all ur listed achievements of the GEJ's govt, I wonder why our refineries didn't work for his six years, or that we're yet to generate over 5000MW(Obj) of electricity, or why he was borrowing to pay salaries(PMB is yet to do such), or he couldn't bail out d states owing salaries(23 at d last count), or how BH came to declare a caliphate over 23 Nigerian LGAs. Things where already worse in 2014- no fuel, no power, BH at large, no jobs, no salaries- d only thing available then was excess dollars to d ruling class! Where are d rails? the food? the robust economy? name one completed road project? Doesn't d sudden collapse show all GEJ's growth was on paper? PMB is yet to formulate any policy, what he has been doing is threading water and implementing d past policies and stopping leakages, yet everything is collapsing? I wonder which country u where, when Ekitigate happened or when APC members/party where being harassed by d DSS or when courts where giving orders of perpetual injunctions against prosecution of political exposed persons or when states were owing several months salaries or when criminals where strolling d corridors of power? U've read all these atrocities, yet u're shameless enough to conveniently forget them? Inculcate objectivity, pls! |

We all agree that 80% of Nigeria revenue comes from the sale of Crude. For a long time during the last administration this major foreign exchange earner was selling for a minimum of $100 per barrel yet the last administration struggled to provide basic infrastructure for the populace not to talk of saving for raining days . There was a time the last administration had to borrow to pay salary. Check out what "fail to plan" oil producing nations like Venezuela ,Brazil , Azerbaijan,Angola etc are going through then we do appreciate that the only thing keeping Nigeria on his feet is that PMB has been able to reduce wastage associated with the last administration . So at $35 to a barrel Nigeria is still struggling as they were when it was $100 does this not beg the answer that this new administration would have done great things if they were blessed with a $100 per barrel revenue from Crude sale . 1 Like |
