NigeriaB:
Good luck Jonathan

It is very hard to pick. Every successive Nigerian president has always succeeded in taking the country into deeper mess. For those saying Obj was the best, compare how Obj met the country in 1999 and how he left it in 2007, it was in a mess. The song "Nigeria jaga-jaga by Idris Abdulkareem gives a summary of how Nigeria was during Obj's rule. For those saying Gej, also compare all economic indices in 2011 and by 2015, it was also a mess. When PMB took over from Shehu Shagari and when IBB overthrew him, the country was in a mess. Compare when PMB took over in 2015 and now, bigger mess. With Yardua, I can still remember the "7 point agenda". None of the items on the 7-point agenda was fulfilled. I can still remember Nigerians crying for Yardua to focus on one or two items on his list instead of not doing anything on that list. For those condemning my opinion, study how most other civilised countries are being governed and draw your conclusion.

Comparison is not beer parlour comparison but objective data driven comparison

1. How much debt did Obj inherit how much did he leave
2. How much money did he inherit and how much did he leave
3.When he resumed oil price was $18 and never exceeded $65
4. He established EFCC
5. He consolidates the banking sector
6. For me his greatest achievement was the Pension Reform
7. IT and Mobile Telephony reform
8. Reformed cement sector stopping importation
9. Blueprint for rail policy

He had several shortcomings e.g.
1. Rumours of 3rd term
2. Dictatorial tendency
3 .Election malpractice continued
4. Ignored Court orders

what was exchange rate as at 1999 and 2007 when left power? What was percapita income? What the life expectancy of an average Nigerian? What is the literacy rate? How much power was being generated to power the economy? What was child mortality rate? What was maternal mortality rate? What was the export-import ratio? How developed were our infrastructure? What was our level of access to quality healthcare? What was our level of food security? What was our manufacturing capacity?
U think development is measured through creation of Efcc? Don't present your beer parlour opinion here again.

We are comparing against other presidents so YOU get that data for others and publish them.
Interesting that you foolishly latch on to EFCC ignoring other things listed.
Nigeria was a pariah state when he took over suspended from The Commonwealth and several bodies with much poverty and massive debt which he paid off .
He left Nigeria better than he met it in many ways

go and learn English language all over again. U are confused. From my first statement, I said every successive administration is Nigeria has always done worse than their predecessors and I still hold on to my statement. Pmb is worse than Gej, Gej is worse than Yardu'a, Yardu'a is worse than Obj, Obj is worse than Abdulsalaam/ Abacha. If u talk of human rights abuses and extrajudicial killings during Abacha's regime, Obj did same or even worse. Bola Ige the minister of justice and Artorney General was killed during Obj's, several others also. We can't forget the Bayelsa Massacre, the Zaki Mbiam massacre.
