Olodo foreign reserve is where the government keeps money in foreign currencies for the purpose of trade in order to defend the local currency when there is shortage of the foreign currency in circulation. was it not dollars that GEJ was sharing to the obas and PDP delegates? we've not forgotten the one he approved for NIA DG that was found in ikoyi!!! instead of putting money in our foreign reserve Jonathan spent recklessly!!!

Continue clutching on straws, GEJ stole you have no charges against him yet, GEJ is history he was voted out let Dullard perform let's see, you guys are so shameless you want to make 2019 about GEJ like he is contesting .

Guess it didn't take long for your veneer to slip. Loll

The economy was in recession before Buhari took over power in 1984. Shehu Shagari introduced Austaurity measure. As you can see, Buhari is always the saviour.

Should I remind u how much GEJ paid to scammers in the name of Chibok girls too? Imagine a whole FG conned.
Was that money meant to sponsor BH too?
In b/w it is only u that know how and that €2m was paid. Were u the negotiator grin

No, the money wasn't meant to fund boko haram. I guess it was paid to them to buy more Koran.

You want to be clever by half. There is a full documentary on how the money was paid, I guess you're ignorant of that fact. And secondly, please provide proof of the scammers paid by the last administration.

If by now you still don't see that the chibok girls saga was masterminded by the current govt then I guess you're really part of the Nigerian problem.

Please explain to us how the girls were kidnapped and taken to sambisa without any form of defence from the security operatives for a state that has been under state of emergency.

I was in Aba when the Nigerian Army were doing operation python dance and mind you, Abia state wasn't under state of emergency buh you couldn't go 10 blocks without meeting an army check point. Buh the chief security officer of the state wants us to believe that boko haram came to chibok and took more than 200 girls, and no security check point saw anything.

You're just shifting goal post. Where is the National Carrier Buhari promised? Why has the FG recurrent budget doubled? When he told us he would eliminate waste in govt. Just tell us one thing Buhari promised to do that he has done.

In the face of the recession Nigeria is currently coming out from, there have been several attacks on the current administration.

Here are 5 indisputable facts before the current government came into power. Recall that as at Dec 2014, oil price was still above $64/barrel.

1. 27 state governors were owing back log of salaries as at May 2015 when this government took over hence the bail out funds approved for governors. Despite this bail out funds, many refused to meet their obligations.

Buhari in ‘bailout’ meeting with governors- June 23; 2015



Why have Governors refused to pay salaries, allowances in spite of bailout funds? - Dec 30, 2015



2. Federal Government was borrowing to pay 2015 salaries.-May 6, 2015

Nigeria borrows to pay salaries with cash crunch worsening. (Vanguard)



3. Oil marketers were owed billions, led to a fuel scarcity that paralyzed Nigeria, even banks were closing before time, telecoms operators were sending texts about expected disruptions (never in Nigeria have this happened until 2015)

Nigeria fuel shortage cripples businesses, banks and flights - 25 May 2015


4. Okonjo-Iweala who many people in the opposition believe would have done better or saved the economy warned of tougher times as oil slipped low to about $76.

Brace for tougher times ahead, Okonjo-Iweala tells Nigerians -NOV 2014



5. Falling Foreign Reserves

Nigeria’s foreign reserves drop to $29.13 billion



With the above facts, every sane discerning mind will see that Nigeria was already in a mess before the change of power.

The question everyone should be asking now is where are the infrastructural developments that can justify all the money Nigeria made in the past 16 years of PDP's rule particularly in the last 7 years of PDP's rule when Nigeria made alot of money from crude oil sales?



The question should have been, why did Nigerians allowed PDP to rule for 16 years despite the OMINOUS SIGNS.

I would be surprised if the president don't know the current pressing problems of Nigeria. Solving it is probably what you're asking. I would have listed easy things he could do but its useless. Buhari does not need such advice and moreover he does not listen to them. He act at his own time.

Every sane Nigeria saw that we were already in a mess except your Buhari who promised to change everything. Except you want to blame Nigerians for trusting him. Was ur prdsident not aware of everything you highlighted before promising change?

Are Nigerians now wrong for expecting him to fulfill his promises?

Put in mind that the factors you listed were in place before he made his campaign promises. And most of his party men were in the last administration so they knew the state of the economy before lying to Nigerians. Infact if you can recall even Gej said Buhari will not be able to change anything immediately he (Gej) lost

All these nonsense propaganda will not help him. Its not too late he can still win the peoples heart if he sincerely want to.

Bros, you are saying a piece of bunkum. If as a major shareholder of a dying company and i hire you to resuscitate it, will you face the board and be giving them these bulshit excuse or would you just tender your resignation before they fire you?

The bullshit you wrote is exactly why Nigeria owned companies don't survive except ones managed by foreigners because we only know how to compare failure with failure.

Look at Nigeria as a dying company before buhari came in, he claimed he knew the problems of the company and can stop the slide and make it better. We did not beg him to come and save the country, he fought to lead to country after several attempts and you stand before us to create excuses for failure to the extent of bringing up past failure to exonerate his failure?
Do you think Nigeria is all about APC and PDP, wailers and Zombies? Is that what matters to you?
If I am your HR manager, I'll sack you immediately, you will be a weak link to any team because you don't even have a mindset to succeed.
I repeat, there is no excuse for failure and it doesn't matter if the people before you have failed.
Mr HR Manager, before you gat power to sack anybody, get this right - Nigeria is not Company! Infact i imagine how deep you would be in failure with this mentality. Aaaaaah aaaaah...... Company running to Running a complicated nation like Naija grin

Good analysis by fellow Buharist OP.

My contribution is that Sai Baba was brought in to power as a substitute just like a football player to replace GEJ and we expect wonders from him.
Nigerians knew the damage and havoc the satanic party has caused, reason we booted them out, so we want more from PMB.

To Whom Much is Given, Much Is Expected.

Sai Baba we need the CHANGE we massively vote for.

i don't agree on one point of yours that states that we are expecting alot from the president.

Durin. Mr. President's pre-election campaign, He made promises to we Nigerians, promised heaven and earth, the universe and the non-universe to us all..


Years later, Mr. President is struggling to fulfill one quarter of one of his many promises and this is 2years down the line.

We have been patient with the man and his team of angelic ministers.. And as time would have it, it has become vusible to the blind and audible to the deaf that the stomach can't stand the tune it's friend hardship is playing..

Let us call a spade a spade and stop sugar coating the truth..

Mr. President has failed and he has failed woefully..

How many ministers have you heard their names in the newspaper aside fashola...?

Excluding that mouthpiece of lies that calls himself minister of information.. I was with a colleague one day and he was telling me one time like that that lai Muhammed was his role model, I asked him why?

He said its cos the man is learned, was from his state and bla bla.. I was like undecided

No wonder kwara no gree develop pass where e dey...

Please let's aha the truth to ourselves and stop been slaves to the lies of others..

Come 2019.. This thieves would come again, hats in hand begging for votes, asking for 4 more years to do what they couldn't do 4years before...

Unfortunately, pdp is in no shape to tackle APC as of this moment.. Truth be told... None of their candidates makes any sense to vote for..

I could go on and on with in-depth review and breakdown of why this is so, but its a topic for another day..

Right now.. There is no light in my district and someone somewhere is saying ten modular refineries dey near completion, I can't count how many times thae modular refineries have been repaired or undergine mainrenance, the fuel it defines is not even enough to power a state, talk less of powering a nation...

Whoever thoughr of basing a refinery in kaduna, needs to be slapped. Even basic economics States knows raw materials should be close to where they are gotten from to reduce costs..

Abeg make I stop ere... The thing wey do naija plenty..

Is it Jonathan that stopped that too?

Continue the blame game.
Soon there will be no ammo to keep playing the game.
At which fora did he promise to pay 5000 to unemployed youths? the 5000 promise was for poor and most vulnerable Nigerians and it was termed "conditional cash transfer ".

Re: Recession: 5 Facts Before President Buhari Took Over Power In 2015 by blustone(m): 11:24pm On Dec 30, 2017
My take...
Back in 2011, we had only 2 options to choose from.
The incumbent who was allegedly clueless,
And d challenger whose "body language" eventually didn't posses d "bite" we had expected, and who has allegedly turned out to be unaware of many things.

Pls in 2019, let's have more than 3 solid options to choose from. Not old men who have been in d "system" since when I was pushing old tyre down d street.

Pls can someone tell me George Weah's age?

But again, I don't want to dwell on d Naija system bcx it has evolved such that any and every well-meaning leader will struggle to make that diffnce.

I can bet you that if Obama bcms d President of Naija he will struggle to succeed, bcx this system, setup, structure of Naija govt needs serious review (aka restructuring).

OBJ heard whiii, GEJ see pepper, now PMB isn't aware.
The next prezz will not fare any diffntly.

Come chk my comments in 2023... these same complains will continue, unless we redesign the way we run the system.

What do u call a pple who do things same way & expects a diffnt result?

Make I shoot fireworks, I dey come.
