Wailers are trying this days
Sarrki i am really disappointed in you ....Cant you see like I have always said the the problem is actually Buhari ..Imagine it was even under him that Nigeria debt hit double figures for the first time , in 1984 he caused a 500 percent inflation ànd today he has caused a 500 percent inflation again within 18 months ...Buhari is a wrecking ball in a china shop and the APC needs to replace him with a critical visionary in its ranks ASAP

Apart from the way the OP has spun the story, there is nothing revelatory about saying that Nigeria faced economic hardship during Buhari's first tenure worsened partly by his policies. This is basic history.

Of course, it is false to say that Buhari increased foreign debt from $2bn to $23bn - the increase happened over a decade - or that inflation hit 500%. But the basic narrative of a hapless incompetent government was as true then as it is now.

Propaganda!. Right-click on the picture and click on "search google for this image" There is no result, this mean that the poster is a manipulator. Notice that the picture is not even in the article
Are you saying the info contained there is wrong? Did Buharis economic recklessness cause a 500 percent inflation ins 1984 or not? Has his recklessness caused the same 500 percent inflation today?

The anwser is yes

People and nonsense writeup


Why would anyone(especially USA) classify economic turndown documents? How does that affect national. Security?
Naoj.com has been reduced to another igberetv brother. All they do these days is carry promote LiePob sympathetic propaganda and spread lies about the government. You wont believe the idiots even ran a story with the headline "Trump invites jonathan to innauguration snubs Buhari."

I believe if one checks, one woulld find the owner of that useless blog is one Nzu- or Chi-, or Obi- bastard.. cheesy

Lying is an enviable virtue in that barren region.

CIA files did not reveal wholesale looting of the country by the party that Buhari overthrew.
They were stealing Nigerias money left and right. They were selling import licenses, they piled short term debt and long term debts that required until OBJ's debt forgiveness negotiated by Okonjo Iwealla to solve.
When you see young Nigerians posting stuff from "fake" CIA sources you realize the ideological cluelessNess of youths in Nigeria. In the past they used to protest CIA acrtivities and coup sponsorships and assassination of foreign leaders but this current generation will "quote" them

They (the NPN) were stealing Nigerias money left and right. The NPN was aldo setttling top army officers like IBB but the army officers still plotted and overthrew them. Tge NPN was just as wasteful as PDP. They were selling import licenses, they piled short term debt and long term debts that required until OBJ's debt forgiveness negotiated by Okonjo Iwealla to solve.

This your post actually confirms suspicion that many like you think at the most elementary level. People whose minds are incapable of processing even some basic information.

When you heard national security, your mind must have pictured some gatemen standing at building gates all over the nation.

You have a long way to go.

You should do some findings on what constitute national security first.

Then go further to find out what CIA does.

Lies from the pits of hell.. IBB actually pulled Nigeria out of the bitter recession caused by Buharis poor leadership , immediately IBB came onboard he relaxed the laws againgst freedom of speech and implemented a world bank SAP which was actually the only way to safely get out of the meaningless depression caused by Buhari ...IBB gave out the first indigenous oil licenses and seed funds to our first local oil block owners ..in 19 months IBB had saved Nigeria from the depression , IBB will go on to initiate a capital project development loike never before seen in Africa where he built a complete city from ground up within 5 years and also build new road networks for Lagos which would include the 3rd mainland bridge ...all this he did with a total revenue of below 15billion dollars ...I hope you know in his 20 month rule Buhari didnt initiate a single capital project just like he is doing today ....I used to think IBB was a demon till i went back tk research Buhari last year ...I pity the leader that will take over from Buhari now because fools might also blame him for the hardship he will inherit from the useless Buhari

A little update tried looking on CIA database couldn't find documents the posted in original article. I emailed the website last night. The author should have it since he wrote the article.

Try a bit harder, how about telling us the value or naira when IBB took over and how much it is when your celebrated IBB was forces out by Nigerians, history is wicked you know.

I don't celebrate IBB but the truth is he was a far more effective leader than IBB.. In 1984 Buhari met Nigeria with a debt profile of 2 billion naira and when he left just twenty months later it had reason to 23 billion dollars..Nothing good can ever come from Buhari ..today the naira is trading at 510 naira to a dollar

Did IBB himself say this? NO.
You are a LIAR as usual. Please go and ask Chief Olu False. Nigeria was mismanaged by NPN , that was the cause of the recession. There was also oil glut that caused severe economic problems.
Young people are playing with POVERTY when they tell lies and refuse to learn.
Keep away from a corrupt politician.
A man stealing your future is not your brother even if he is from your tribe.
By the time Buhari was overthrown, Nigeria had already paid 50 percent of all her debt. Please ask Falae or Dr Chu Okongwu

IBB later weakened Nigeria by institutionalising corruption. Drugs, 419 and other ills started. Nigerians started being disgraced at international airports. Even if you hate Buhari you must use your brains to discern the truth

Your eyes are not open ..If you don't know it was Buhari that indirectly institutionalised corruption in Nigeria when his bad policies introduced hyper inflation and eroded the once buoyant middle class as usual making people to start getting desperate and greedy just so the can amass in whatever way to make sure their lineage survive ... for your information Buhari inherited a debt of just 2 billion dollars from Shagari and just 20 months later when he is overthrown it had risen to 23 billion dollars ..Please don't follow here say the indices are open for all to see
