The truth must be told I'm a strong supporter of Buhari in way back 2015 during my service year to the extent that that my fellow Corp members start calling me Buhari, even today people around me still call me that name Buhari because of defending him every day. But today i will tell you Jonathan remains the best president and Buhari the worst president. I concur

You are right, bro. We warned them that Bubu is a plague waiting to be unleashed on Nigerians, but the self-acclaimed dynamic and sophisticated ones saw his as godsent.
Anyway, I have always been proud of my hero, GEJ.

Nigerians with short memory. Nigerians who lack understanding of basic economics.
Re: Jonathan Still The Best President Despite His Shortcomings by greatgod2012(f): 7:31pm On Jan 31, 2017
What is happening in Nigeria now is an attestation to a popular saying.........YOU NEVER KNOW THE VALUE OF A THING/PERSON UNTIL YOU LOSE IT/HIM.

We thought GEJ was bad, now, we know better.

Said by a person who grew up under Abacha.
What do you know?...Nothing.
What is happening confirms Jonathan very bad. The economy is bad because of poor planning by Jonathan
No savings , no investments. They never cared for the youths. The guy was counting private jets and calling it index of good economy. Ijaw fish brains.
Jonathan left Ajaokuta uncompleted. No Refineries, no petrochemical, no foundries. He promised infrastructure but nothing. We were selling crude oil at the highest price ever and all we spent it on was importing petrol.
We even imported palm oil and rice .
Go and look at Arab countries, look at S. America.
Ordinary Senegal, Rwanda, Tanzania, Kenya had better Presidents
Now so many of poor displaced people are causing insecurity. Nigeria's problem is explansble by elementary social science.
Yaradua, Obj were better. It seems now Gowon and Shonekan were the best . Shonekan never had a chance but he did very well

If Jonathan had just gotten rid of Diezani he would have been Nigerias best president

Life was easy ...but it was not making sense.
Oil price was high and we ate it all and bleeped with the remaining
Nothing easy makes sense. You have to get off cluelessness.
This kind of post cannot be made by a German, Dutch or UK National of your age . We were the most stupid country under Jonathan. We wasted our future and were making moves to waste our children's future. God helped us by crashing the oil price. Now the brains of Nigerians have started working

Whether you like this post or not does not matter, the truth is always bitter.

and the fact that you cant see the scam being run by APC does not also make you intelligent

listen my friend. am not any fan of a political party but to be honest with myself and my opinion. many business grow under GEJ, many nigerians got jobs, many became millionaires, many business growing, there was life in Nigeria under GEJ. you can't hide the truth bro. under APC is pure death.

i didnt forget reading about the governors refusal to save for the rainny days. don't the gov knows days like this will come when they even protest for GEJ to release funds ? if you ask me this is not all about oil price but policies. your policies towards a particular time determines if the country will be good or not,. in the time of GEJ i see visible changes not media changes. even the north can attest to it. GEJ failed the election due to personal hatred from the Northerners. nothing he does for them could satisfy them.

We were deceiving ourselves because we had cluelessness at the top.
Leadership is always a lonely place
I had friends close to me making millions importing Brazilian hair and luxury goods from abroad during GEJ time. The oil price was high and people could afford it.
My civil service friends were building houses for girl friends and buying designer cars for other girl friends.
Someone posted a bill for N10000000 a night in one night club.
Believe me that was a BAD economy only we did not know it .

Re: Jonathan Still The Best President Despite His Shortcomings by Funlordmaniac(m): 5:47am On Feb 03, 2017

Buhari has always been a disaster, go an ask Army units he headed

"A declassified Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) report has revealed how the Nigerian economy practically collapsed when President Muhammadu Buhari came into power as a military president in 1983.

The young Buhari alongside his allies in the military had toppled the democratically elected government of Alhaji Shehu Shagari in a bloodless coup.
The CIA files revealed that the Nigerian economy reached its peak in 1981 but steadily declined under Buhari's watch from 1983.

''By 1984, real GDP had dropped to the level of a decade earlier, while the population had increased by 25 million to more than 90 million,'' the report stated.

Under General Buhari's watch, the official consumer price index, which usually understates inflation, rose by over 500% and Nigeria's foreign debt increased from $2billion to about $23billion."

Are we not saying goes the same thing , when Buhari took over was it not 2 billion , when he left in August 1985 it had clearly surpassed 20 billion dollars which even you agree with by your 1986 estimate that EDF was 22 billion ..please note August 1985 was just 5 months from86

bros abeg we no talk same thing, he was HOS from dec 31, 1983 to aug 27, 1985, that's like jan 1, 1984 to aug 31, 1985.
Check the figures;
1983: 17.5bn
1984: 17.7bn
1985: 18.6bn
the figures above are year end figures, without considering what might actually happened in respect to Sept to Dec, 1985, the difference from 1983 ending to 1985 is $1.1bn.
except you are trolling me, i think you should see that what you have isnt a reliable fact. I got mine through the DMO.

Are u aware he inherited the best Airforce in our history with over 70 state of the art planes and by the time he left the Airforce was a qtr of what it was....are you aware in 20 months the man didn't initiate or complete a single capital project just like today ...Are you aware Nigeria airways cut 1000 jobs under Buhari then ..Are aware there was a 500 percent increase in CPI just like today ...please keep supportin rubbish ooo
