Your illiterate president believes he will build the Nigerian economy by jailing Jonathan, Okonjo Iweala, Tompolo, Fani Kayode and Metuh.

While his stu.pid followers keep hailing him as he tours the whole world. And the economy continues to nosedive.

Fearless Buhari!

Bokoharam bow before him
Corrupt leaders melt at the mention of his name
Oil thieves took to their heels on seeing his convoy
NLC cracked on hearing his policies.

Fearless Buhari.....

That the defense most zombies always come up with. "Nigeria would have been worse bla bla bla...". Same way you guys were preaching the gospel of Buhari, "Nigeria would be better off with Buhari, Buhari will do this, he will do that". But we all know what's going on now.

Mr integrity who before now said there's nothing like subsidy, paid for subsidies for some months and now has removed the 'nonexistent' subsidy.
Nigeria would have been better without Buhari. Simple fact!

Let's look inwards and discover d great things God has buried inside each of us,then put it to good use,d results will be Awesome! The issue of Nigeria or Nigerians is that there are jobs that are already there for us.

Lets look at farming, how many Nigerian University Agricultural Student graduate or any other young youth can farm nowadays, how many of our youths knows how to farm, if you ask them why they dont engage in farming, they will tell you that farming is for old and illetrate men / people, which shouldnt be so.

Many people want white collar jobs, while there are jobs that will fetch monies and bonus it with knowledge.

If our youths and people can go back to farming / domestic agriculture, they will enjoy it, they will engage in importation of the farming products to other countries, our economy will rise and there will be competition in the business, foodstuffs like rice and beans, etc, will be cheap for a layman / ordinary person to afford and buy even a beggar will buy it too.

There are many ways to enrich our lives, it is not only white collar jobs.

Nigeria is flowing with milk and honey! Look Inwards there is Greatness Inside of U,!

We saw this coming. It's not a news any longer since the only commodity that made us grow on paper has lost more than 60% of its values without us saving for these rainy days.

PMB technically inherited a bleeding economy; an economy effectively in recession.
Yes he got handed an already bad economy, but what is he doing about it or is that not why he came up with the change slogan. To change us from a path of economic recession to one of prosperity. According to the report he has only managed in accelerating the economic problems because thins are worse off now.

God bless you for your comment.This is where the problem really lies.It`s unfortunate,our leaders have forgotten God and forsaken His way,trusting in their own understanding.Any nation that forgets God will surely have problems,but the good news is God`s merciful hands are waiting to embrace and help us only if we will retrace our steps to Him.Nigeria will rise again!

I respect your decorum and you do have a point. PMB needs to step up. But we can agree that GEJ corruption and lack of saving is killing us today
Jonathan is inexcusable, yet I blame him not. He was put in a position he was never prepared for. Jonathan that I know, wouldn't even dream beyond a local government chairman naturally. He was a small man who was thrust to a position much more bigger than him. He was weak and lacked the steel in character that you need as a leader. We can't blame him forever. Time to move on. Jonathan is no longer an excuse. grin

You're not smart... Otherwise you should've realized that Jonathan will forever remain one of Nigeria's greatest leaders. He rose through the ranks. A man who started as a Deputy Governor and ended as a President for 6 years can never be a pushover. There's something about that man you will never understand. It's not just about luck.

The FANTASTICALLY CORRUPT DULLARD STUPID PRESIDIOT is really bent on destroying the country like he tried to do in 1983, and this time, there is no Babangida to save them.
The funny thing is, useless and cursed ZOMBIES are yet to criticise or call him to order. They just support him blindly looking for who to put the blames of their woeful performer on.
Thankful we the proud WAILERS never believed him/then

I am sorry...but you are being too optimistic.

Everybody is discovering oil.Fracking is here to stay. I expect oil prices to stay low.
/
Pricing of commodities is based on greed and fear. Everyone wants to make money. There comes a point when good news is not good enough or bad news is not bad enough. Then market reacts whichever way it wants -- market is always right. Think about it. What changed from January to May? Nothing. But price moved to almost $50/barrel all the way from $27. The same status will remain and oil goes back to $70. The only thing one gets is the talking heads that will run to tv to try to explain what happened. Fact is: They have no idea. But they have to justify their salaries. If you keep looking for the reasons, you will miss out. Market can be irrational and that's why a lot of people lose money because they forget that market is driven by computer algorithms.

What have I said that isn't smart? Could Jonathan on his personal merit have won any election above lga chairmanship? Was he a strong leader? Was he not overwhelmed by the position of presidency?

There is no doubt that there's something about Jonathan. I agree it is much more than luck, but that doesn't make him less a spineless leader. He was a pushover in every sense. He was trampled on by everyone you can imagine. Is he a good man? Sure. Do I love and respect him? Absolutely. Do I admire him? Yep.

Even with all of the above, I will not hesitate to tell him to his face that he wasn't good enough. Was he better than all before him? Honestly, I believe he was. I supported him against Buhari because he's better than Buhari, but he's not a great leader. cry

Nigeria has not paid a dime in subsidy since beginning of 2016. Again, what the FG has done is to deregulate the oil industry. Read about what it means to deregulate.

Why can't you counter the fact that the Ineffectual Buffoon and madam puff-puff borrowed to pay salaries in Feb and March of 2015 and attempt to tell us how they could have managed the economy with much more lower oil price?
you that understands what deregulation means, do you deregulate and at the same time fix price?

You are not petrotic because if you are, you would be sincere than defending your vote which deep down in you that you are regretting.

Most of Nigerians are graduates yet very gullible, the nation economy is take a nose dive yet your praise a man who promised haven and earth without actually knowing the state of economy before taking over power, I think in the developed world like here, people will be mad with PMB straight up,.

When you go on campaign trail, it's paramount that you employ analyist on each sector whom would help you to analyze the state of each sector of the government, he didnt do that all he did was to make bogus promises without having a detailed analysis on the state of the economy, so stop giving us crap reason that he meet empty or dead economy..... He was voted to fix it.


During same campaign trail, he and the APC said that they would create 4million job a year and asked a gullible ApC supporter here in nairaland, who possible is that.... I specifically told him that EU countries joined together cannot achieve such talk less of Naija, today what's happening.... 1.5m jobs lost in just first quarter of 2016..... Nigeria wake up


The earlier we tell ourselves the truth that buhari have nothing to offer the nation, the better for us but if we don't Venezuela(biggest crude reserve) will be better than us.... At least they speak one language and are one people........ We should a collective mindset to make our nation great and that does not include buhari, all the old military leaders, anybody who ever worked with the force and those old men

You can pretend all you want, if as a seating president he couldn't win a questionable character like Buhari, what then gives you the belief that Jonathan won 2011 on his own merit? Without the efforts of Obasanjo and a few others, did Jonathan have any clue how to handle the Hausa-fulani oligarchy? Stop deceiving yourself, Jonathan ain't got what it takes to be a great leader.

All the same, I will still rate him above everyone before him. That doesn't make him a good leader. A good person? Sure.

You're obviously behaving like a proper illiterate here.

Our amiable president, President Muhammadu Buhari only paid subsidy in 2015 plus the debt left behind by the Ineffectual Buffoon. In 2016, PMB has not paid a penny in subsidy. Again, read about it here http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/02/no-subsidy-paid-in-january-kachikwu/
