We did not have any growing economy, let alone, the fastest. Crude was sold at exorbitant prices and we sold at exorbitant quantities finish. We were producing nada, importing starch (cassava) and Toothpicks (Chewing Stick).

TheGoodJoe:


Please, Obama blamed George Bush Jr repeatedly. Get that right. What separates Obama from lots of youths today was even as a student, he was making strides to make America better.

richie9093:


once again you people will just come here and pull facts out of your asses without doing your research.

Below are links to dispute your ignorance. I wonder how you can believe that only dwindling oil prices make our economy bad like this. Like Obasanjo didn't face the same thing at one time coupled with the militancy of MEND too.

Pls don't mention me if you don't have links to disprove this facts here. You can keep deceiving people in your village with your ignorance but don't come on a website with over 1.7million people and act all smart.

Have a good day.

richie9093:


yes, you are right about Obama blaming bush but he didn't start blaming bush until late 2011/2012 when he had started getting things straight.


Once again, you can make your research before you counter me because I already have proofs for these facts.

We should think of how to fix Nigeria's problems and not carry Placard. If the current government lack ideas to solve our problems, will the Placard put the ideas in their heads.

We need to think of solutions and how to propagate them to the government to act on them. Not carrying Placards and shouting.

Missthin:
Tuface is from okpokwu not otukpo

Mujtahida:

TheGoodJoe:


The Placard is noise and what will the government take home from that. What are the solutions proposed from these Protest? Nothing. If you get that, you get my point.

We need a framework to lift this nation up. Then we need avenues to propagate the message. Then we need to take action to implement it. Not Placard shouting enough is enough.

TheGoodJoe:


I guess you believe the fall in Crude Oil prices did not affect Egypt, Venezuela etc.

Very shocking you expected growth in a mono driven economy after Crude Oil prices dropped. Like seriously.

The wages and number of work force increased. Subsidy prices trippled under GEJ. Importation sky rocketed under GEJ and you want the economy to operate like how it was under OBJ?

Mujtahida:

Government will never act on any solution proposed to it. Forget it. Go back in time. Tell me just one single problem the government of this country has solved. just one- ebola. I for one detest the idea of government. no man has the right to rule over me. Government is just a necessary evil. And know it that there ain't one way to solve a problem. Placards do solve problems, protests do solve problems. At the heart of this protest are certain realities some people want to turn a blind eye to. But if at all no solution is preferred at least people get to let the government know that there's suffering in the land. Have you ever been in government? Have you enjoyed the perks and comforts that go with government in Nigeria? If we keep quiet I swear we will suffer more than yesterday.

richie9093:


Egypt isn't even a major oil exporting country and they aren't a member of OPEC. Venezuela is the only member of OPEC you mentioned and Venezuela economy has been tumbling since the death of Chávez in 2012.

What about Other members of OPEC like Saudi, Angola, Kuwait, Oman etc. Why aren't they experiencing what we are experiencing too? is it this bad for them?

And do you honesty believe this government --which said it would stop subsidy and repair our refineries-- isn't still paying subsidy? What do you think the landing cost they are paying oil marketers is for?

How an educated man like yourself can honestly absolve this administration of any wrong doing baffles me. Wake up, man!

Yes, we voted and campaigned for them but still lets hold them accountable. There is nothing wrong in doing that. GEJ is gone for good. Buhari should do something that will make us remember him for good when he is gone too. Let us not remember him the same way we still remember Jonathan.

That's all I have to say.

TheGoodJoe:


He blamed Bush before the election. He blamed Bush immediately after the election. Heck during his second campaign, Obama blamed Bush. I am also blaming Bush because he wrecked America to the ground.

TheGoodJoe:


Saudi Arabia also went through high inflation of good and services. They faced massive economic challenges. Worst in a very long time.

I am not believing this government. I am not talking about being partisan. I am stating clearly that the present youths should stop following and start leading. Think of solutions and work to achieve it. This protest is offering no solution. If I was pro this administration, will I talk of us looking for solutions?

richie9093:


He blamed bush before the election because that was all part of the campaign and bush was the sitting president then. As soon as he got in, he got to work.

Ok, lets agree that he blamed bush. He didn't still sit down idly putting USA into more recession, he brought them out of it and took the unemployment rate to one of the lowest levels ever in the history of America.

Our own Buhari is still blaming GEJ without doing nothing and increasing the suffering of people he is meant to be governing.

I no even know why I dey compare Buhari to Obama sef. Na me Bleep up.

richie9093:


Yes, Bruh. I agree with you that this protest is offering no solution. It's one of the reason why I'm not even going to join them. But if this protest will let the people in power know that people aren't in support of the way there are ruling, I see no wrong in the protest.

I just hope this protest will make this administration sit up and at least make things better a little bit. I don't even want $1=₦1 anymore, ₦300 is fine by me. Even ₦400 sef.

I just want this Buhari administration to get things right so I can go back and laugh in my friends' faces and say "I TOLD YOU HE'S THE RIGHT MAN"

Omo but Buhari don too fall hand.

TheGoodJoe:


We should stop all this Buhari talk. I did not follow a second expect Buhari to wave a magic wand to salvage our economy. I noticed the massive wastage during GEJ's reign and I knew it will take a lot of work to wipe this wastage away.

We are suffering the repercussions of this wastage. I wanted GEJ out because I knew the wastage will reduce. Evidence from our growing reserves. Something we could not achieve before.

For economic growth, which we desperately need, it will take more than Buhari or a protest to achieve it. It will take millions of hard working youths to come up with ideas and strive to achieve it.

It will take smart youths coming up with innovative and sustainable solutions to create industries. It will take us working hard to get these solutions to the tables of the government.

Without us working hard and getting these solutions first, what we are doing is making noise.

I do agree with you one this. Completely in fact. But the was the situation is now, the system isn't helpful to entrepreneurs. Banks borrow loans at exorbitant interest rates, the SMEs can't access forex for stuff they need while pilgrims get $$ at ₦197 for pilgrimage. How does this help a youth who wants to be an entrepreneur?

The system is against them. That's why whichever way we still have to blame the FG because they are the ones who'll dictate how the system helps this youth.

I have faith in this country, I really. But mehn, it's so hard to keep faith in something that's decaying.

Buhari should man up and be the man of integrity we thought him to be during the campaigns. He should reshuffle his cabinet and try one or two new things. it's never too late to turn this around.
