It's obvious that President Jonathan is not the one that will blame others for his lapses. He takes responsibility unlike someone I know. Even though the security situation in Nigeria during his tenure was better than now, he still did not lambast the present government.

DMerciful:
You still believe those fallacious corruption allegations? How come the corrupt free Bubu govt is borrowing money upandan? Do not let propaganda continue to influence your decision regarding Nigeria

Yes I believe most of them cos they were evidence. If I don’t believe even after all that’s been done why should I believe any corruption in Buhari government after seeing similar evidence or stories?? Both government are corrupt just depends on who did more.

And did Jonathan’s aides not insult former presidents That is lack of control and tact.

Ask Buhari's people same question.



Insecurity is fulani's family business....

People are talking about national development and prosperity and you're talking about insults!

The Netherlands(the size of Oyo state)revenue from agriculture alone is about $20 billion, this is about the size of your national budget if we look at the exchange rate in the parallel market.

Nigeria is a poor country and we must restructure to become rich. Politicians campaign with exaggerated corruption of previous government to wipe up sentiments of the masses because they believe the suffering is due to misappropriation rather than running a very centralized unproductive structure!

Wake up from your slumber, corruption is not the cause but an effect of a structural defect! A society that celebrates mediocrity and sacrifice meritocracy can never grow!

Why would any right thinking human expect GEJ who failed woefully in security to now start castigating PMB for failing in the same subject?

Hmmm

Nor be force to comment on the insecurity going on in the country right now, let those that were talking during the Jonathan regime to do so simple as a,b,c....wise comment from jona.
Make the northern part of Nigeria continue to cover up for the evil this people are doing just imagine zulum saying that buhari has done well in bornu despite the killings what a foolish governor playing politics with peoples life.
Abeg make them carry their cross if boko haram and bandit finish the whole north make them continue to enjoy their insecurity there e nor concern me any more.

The former govt, despite the much higher oil prices and revenue, borrowed massively to keep things afloat, raking in total debts of about $63billion as at May 2015. In early 2015, when oil prices were still reasonably higher than what it is today, the then govt lamented the drop in revenue and had to borrow about $3-4billion to pay civil servant salaries amongst other things in February 2015.

Since 2015 till date, oil prices have fallen further, govt revenue has dropped further, and it's on record that the current govt has received only about a third of the revenue received by the previous govt (which was also borrowing). With this info out in the public, with the same oil prices still low and with even the more recent covid crisis, you're actually still asking why the govt is borrowing money?

GEJ govt borrowed $63 billion? Pure lies!

That's how you buharists use propaganda to deceive gullible people!

Bubu govt has earned far more than Obj govt yet Obj paid our debt accrued during the military era

There’s no slumber her bt u need to wake up from ur self denial of facts. There was massive Corruption and yes while i do agree it’s not a cause bt an effect of structural defects. It harm can not be overlooked or overemphasized. It also created a temporary and false economic growth which doesn’t last bt create vacuum in the future of the economy.

Systemic corruption and economic prosperity don’t go hand in hand especially in a democratic government. Let’s say the truth and make Nigerian truely Great!

The reason you see corruption(btw exaggerated by politicians against previous govt) being endemic as 95% of Nigerians are corrupt is because everyone is trying to cash out of a hopeless system once they get the opportunity.

We must restructure this country, it's the hard way and the only way!

They said Diezani stole $90 billion. Calculate our budget from 2011-2015 May and see how much it was(about $90 billion).

So Diezani stole our entire budget for 4yrs and the nation did not collapse? Where did she keep the money?

Jonathan
Tho I won’t say he is a coward
But he is surely not man enough to be a chairman of a village meeting talk more of president of any union
Too much humility turns to cowardice
Though he have right to expression
What if dora akunyili was this humble and cowed
Jonathan wouldn’t have smell that seat
Heaven suffers violent and violent taketh it by force

so to be the chairman of ur village meeting the person must be violent and rascal b4 ur village people can recognize him as good chairman. Wisdom is far away from uu

ChoCho54:
Because he didn't pick on buhari? To what end? Abeg leave shii for agbe poo.

The question put to him was what he thinks of the security situation of the country. He wasn't asked to assess Buhari's performance.
He could have said it calls for concern but we can get over it for example.
But playing the see no evil in this matter means he has no "thoughts" hence his cluelessness.

If we're back to "what wasn't said' then it means he did pick on Buhari which defeats your initial point.

Very useless country, so we now rate past leaders based on how they answer questions, not based on the legacy they left behind. Buhari remain a mistake this country has made ,but Jonathan is no no for me.

I do agree with u on the exaggeration and I know Apc are monumental liars bt grand corruption still existed.

But Jonathan is a man without any political beliefs of his own. He goes where the wind blows him to.

All na permutations....trust a Nigerian politician at your peril.

Since the day I have known that Politics in Nigeria is a game of interest, I have always see dem Polithiefians as a joker.

To be a chairman in my village you have to-eschew-from cowardliness
My village chairman when ask what is the situation of his subjects
Don’t cow
Jonathan is just being a coward while hiding under humility

you people working on bringing jona back are really trying hard to sell this your market......hope you know it is spoilt and rotten....you are just going to bring him forward to chop another L.

Jonathan will be a fool to allow himself to be used by the cabal to shortchange the south.............I voted against Jonathan in 2015 but i didnt know tvat i was supporting cry babies who could not understand the simple fact that government is a continuum. Jonathan's conduct since he left power, however, have earned him my respect. Even Buhari was not this civil then, not to talk of the attention seeking letter writer.

DMerciful:
GEJ govt borrowed $63 billion? Pure lies!

That's how you buharists use propaganda to deceive gullible people!

Bubu govt has earned far more than Obj govt yet Obj paid our debt accrued during the military era

The importance of verifying info before swallowing it can never be overemphasised. Unfortunately, many typical Nigerians either dont possess the capacity to do this, or just deliberately want to be lazy about it. No offense, but the fact that you jumped to conclusions saying I'm lying, without taking even a second to try and verify what I said (either by asking me to provide evidence or by running a quick google search yourself), that's a lazy trait.

Back to the subject, I said Nigeria's total debt as at the time GEJ left office was $63billion, I didnt say he incurred all of it, but under his tenure, Nigeria's total debt rose by over $30billion to hit that figure I mentioned.

Regarding OBJ earning less, that info is to be confirmed. But even putting that aside, it is total economic illiteracy to compare 1999 to 2020; there's something called the 'time value of money'. N1000 in 1999 does not have the same value as N1000 in 2020. That Nigeria's economy was okay in 1999 with oil prices of $10, that does not mean $10 in 2020 with be sufficient to keep Nigeria afloat in 2020. For starters, Nigeria's forex demand in 2020 is over 1000% higher than what it was in 1999. So next time when people try to compare crude prices in 1999 with 2020, a little bit of economic knowledge should be applied to that logic.

See how you're twisting the narrative, which is deceitful in itself. You said the previous govt (and not govts) incurred N63 billion and now you're saying as at the time GEJ left office. Do not shift the goal post!

If the value of the value keeps falling, whose fault is that? Why can't Obj tenure be compared with Bubu? Are you making it seems the incompetent one is facing a separate challenge? You forgot ND militancy was highest in Obj/Yaradua time?
Bubu is a failure, accept it!
