I am educated so I can read, I argue based on facts. Anwser the simple question, who destroyed the economy in 1984?
I'm saying you've read the wrong story and, that's why I'm asking you to know if you were there. No account pre-84 has said the economy under shagari was rosy before BUHARI took over . He came on a rescue mission , but was truncated by the architect of our modern day problems, IBB .

Ok if he destroyed the economy in 1984, how come pdp could not revive it in 16 years?

say this to yourself!!!

Emotional blackmail? This is what you guys are known for.
what is he saying again? We are judging PMB on his actions and not his person. You are busy talking hate like say he is our enemy. We want a decent society and we won't fold our hands and watch him derail him.


Saying WE hate pmb is just doing an emotional blackmail on us so that we will forget what we should speak out at all times.




Pmb is a man with a lighter in a gas station but we are the Fire service ever ready to quench any fire he starts up

I should also ask you if you were there, or if you were one of his cabinet members. Why is it that someone has to be blamed when Buhari's economic decisions fail? grin

How many people did Obama blame when he took over power?

Buhari met Nigeria as the biggest economy in Africa, in only 18mths we are in a recession, has it been PDP's policies we have been implementing since the last 18mths or Buhari's?

Buhari can't work in a civilian rule. He need degree, so national assembly should give him power to do all those things mentioned up there before he can perform well.
Why did he contest election when he knows he can't work well in a democratic government.

Oya National assembly over to you, Please give Buhari power to do and undo anything without passing through you or due process, so that we will not die of hunger.

We still have a very long way to go.

To rescue the economy from who? These guys are just playing ping pong with our economy. Its like a doctor who starts treating a patient with a simple ear infection, mismanages the patient until he starts convulsing due to acute meningitis, then the doctor is now asking the relatives to sign consent for an emergency brain surgery!

Why are Nigerians so damn stupid? Did you bother to read the entire piece or hate has twisted your mind to react negatively to any news about this government? I dislike people like you with passion. Just go and get something doing so you won't die young from carrying hate around in your heart.

Crazy stuff. It's obvious this government cannot work within civilian and democratic tenets hence this fire brigade approach. The problem with things like this is heady abuse of powers and obfuscation of processes so that private individuals are at a loss as to what the extant provision of the law is.

We watch n observe.

It's not abt civil rule, bt more abt d need 2 change laws dat makes dev a problem e.g "a 6 month period is needed for contracts to be executed from d date of announcement" which means if d govt decides 2 build a bridge 2day,d law does not allow dem 2 start immediately... By d law d bridge construction must start nxt yr... Hw do u xpect a govt 2 be effective dis way?

Obama took responsibility for his party and blamed republican where necessary. That was because their system allows alternation of power between the party. But here , Pdp ruled for 16 years since inception of our democracy, who should apc blame?

Just as you were not there or born then , I was also not part of the cabinet too. And I don't think it's written anywhere that you must be part of the cabinet to know what the government is doing. Why I had to ask if you were there in 1984 is because other accounts pre-84 contradicts your line of argument. Besides, you made me believe that you argue based on facts . So when I saw your argument devoid of facts , I was forced to hold you back .

The biggest economy in Africa story is a farce and does not fly. What's the unemployment rate at that time? What was happening in education and health sector? What was Nigeria having under that slogan of "biggest economy"? If it was that rosy , why was the last administration kicked out?

Just like pre-84 where shagari asslickers made us believe everything was rosy until the government was toppled and BUHARI took over , so was the situation before he took over from the last administration; we horsewhiped them out.

Mr man rice was sold 4 9k because oil was above a 100 dollars so we had dollars 4 importation, now no free dollars 4 importing wat we can produce. If Nigerians refuse 2 become self dependent on rice production, den lets all pay d high cost of foreign rice.

My brother it shock u 2 kn dat we import beans from Burkina Faso.. Its dat bad. North east use 2 supply d nation with beans until Boko Haram destroyed d north east. As 4 garri, its simple economics; d garri seller needs 2 hike d price of garri so he could afford 2 buy beans and rice dat has gone up in price.

The most beautiful question ever


What was buhari achievement? On what basis did you bring him now. Why should they handover military-style emergency powers to a bumbling old fool who did not use it well the first time he got it?


The only people who think Nigerias economy was not better last year are those who were not gainfully engaged before now. Every known economic think tank in the world admitted that Nigeria was having a steady growth. Moody, bloom berg, IMF and even world bank. Nigerian companies were listed in London stock exchange. Nigerias bonds were being sold internationally. Some of the most obvious construction works were ongoing. Even China is sceptical about doing business with this olodo and his ministers Foreign banks bought shares in most of our banks, foreign local partnership skyrocketed in every area. While the country was far from perfect, it was definitely better.

It is only diehard zombies that have refused to accept the inevitable truth that this government's problems goes beyond Oil Price and Gej. Go to lekki and see how many empty office spaces are there. Most of them were occupied 2 years ago. Office spaces were scarce leading to the spike in building projects. Now no one is renting them, hungry investors cannot use shame to bring down prices

I thank God Ebola didn't come up under this people. I can bet they would have acted like it doesn't exist till it finished the country. See polio that was kicked out is back to the north. Ni drugs anywhere and some adults on this forum who are supposed to behave like adults will come here and be speaking trash.

BlackSeptember I have been following your comments, seems to me you're just having fun cos I feel you should know better.. ... the real cause of our economic problems now. The problem is not Buhari’s fault nor Jonathan but it accumulated over the years however while it seems that some blame Jonathan is because we made so much money during his Era but unfortunately we didn't get much out it. Having said that I think we should move on and make the best out this bad situation we ve found ourselves.

This is why I support this present initiative of the government to spend our way out of recession. This is keyenesian economics. The present inflationary threat is not a monetary phenomenon (ie what we call demand pull inflation in economics) and so their is little or nothing monetary policy by extension the CBN can do for us now. The current inflation is cost push in nature, fueled by external shocks (fall in oil prices) which is as a result of the import dependent nature of our economy and the scarcity of foreign exchange to meet our huge import demand Thus, we need fiscal policy stimulus which involves massive government expenditure and interventions in the critical sectors of the economy so as to stimulate Aggregate Demand and Lubricate the economy hence every bureaucratic bottleneck should be removed to fastrack the process.

So I plead with you to support the initiative and not play politics with it. However when the time for politics come you can play it to the fullest. I rest my case.
