₦airaland Forum

Based on my research and study on this issue, I'll rank them as follow,

ECONOMIC GROWTH.
1. Obasanjo
2. Yaradua
3. Jonathan
Omo you never miss your water till you lose it, this men kept the country economically strong but we no rate them because they were not propaganda inclined.

INFRASTRUCTURAL DEVELOPMENT.
1. Yakubu Gowon
Nobody comes close to Gowon in this area. The Lagos some people use in boasting today was mostly developed by Gowon, this include:

the first and second mainland bridges,

the national theatre,

national stadium Lagos,

road projects to different parts of the country,

he built the warri Kaduna and port Harcourt refinaries,

opened and built world-class federal universities according to the standards of that time including uniben my school, the best buildings you will find in this school were the ones he built..

Although many will not agree, Gowon restored the eastern regions losses during the war in the shortest possible time, atleast to a significant extent.. Omo the first time I researched about his administration I was really surprised and impressed

2. Badamosi Babangida..
Started the construction of Aso Rock and also gave us the third mainland bridge.

3. Mohammadu Buhari...

Tried in the area of transportation.. reconstruction of federal highways and airports across the country and rejuvenation of the Nigerian railways.

PEACE AND INTERNAL SECURITY.
1. Abacha
2. Abdusalam Abubakar
3. Buharis military regime.


MOST UNDERRATED PRESIDENT OR HEAD OF STATE.
Gowon and Jonathan.

MOST OVERRATED PRESIDENT OR HEAD OF STATE.
Abacha and Muritala

THE WORST HEADS OF STATE
Shehu Shagari
Ernest Shonekon(can't blame him, but he was just ineffective)

GOATS
Tafawa Balewa, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Obafemi Awolowo And the sadurna of Sokoto, alhaji sir ahmedu bello

Nigerias youth of this internet age don't respect this men.. makes me laugh, until you are faced with same circumstances that they were faced with as early nation builders you'll never understand.
Although it was mostly Azikiwe that had a national outlook to things in this era, you cannot take away the fact that what this men did in their respective regions are still benefiting thier people many years after their death

Ahmedu Bello, strategic north centric ideology seeing that the north was at a disadvantage when compared to the south, he built schools, employed northerners into the civil service in the north, even if they were not as qualified as their southern counterparts he still employed them, they must learn on the job.. this mentality helped the northerners to grow into governance even at the national level.

Awolowo. What more can be said, most if not everything the yorubas have today can be traced back to the foresightedness of Pa. Awolowo.. he built schools and gave his people free primary education. Despite being faced with federal opposition, he performed reasonably well, by sustaining the influence of Yorubas in the country.

As for the east, unfortunately for you guys and fortunately for the entire Nigeria, your patron had a nationalistic outlook to things back then.. from my research I even got to discover that Azikiwe supported Nigeria during the civil war,
Azikiwe brought football to Nigeria, the NFF originated from Azikiwe.
He remains the only leader in Nigeria that spoke Igbo Yoruba and Hausa fluently.
He sought for the unity of the country more than any of the other founding fathers.

He revolutionized the West African newspaper industry, demonstrating that English-language journalism could be successful.

The man was not really concerned about putting Igbos in mainframe politics back then...

If you do proper research, you'll see that he's one of the chief reasons why we still have a country called Nigeria today, the man nor just believe in division at all. lol.. another major reason why Nigeria remained one country was the discovery of oil.
I see zik as a father to Nigeria and I also understood why naming the airport in Abuja and putting him on the 500 naira note was not out of place..
If Awolowo and Belo were a bit like Azikiwe, the term Nigeria would have been more prominent than Igbo Yoruba and Hausa....

Whenever I pass through the independence tunnel in Maryland... And I see the pictures of these great men, I have nothing but respect and admiration for them for giving us a country to call our own.

yusufu16:
Nairamarley deserve an apology from Nigerians. Nobody can bring any concrete evidence to show that he killed Mohbad. People are just giving judgement based on the videos they saw online, without knowing fully the complete story ofthe videos.

Omo e no tire you ?

This social media justice age is just wack. The online mobs just wants to bring anybody down with or without relevant evidence..

IVORY2009:
No one is condemning the current state governor, what I am saying is the level of corruption in that state from the days of James Ibori till the last previous administration of Okowa, that state has no business to be poor, including it's citizens, where a commissioner steals 2 billion naira, then what about the governor.

Who even gave you people this idea that Delta state is poor ?

You people that don't travel will be sitting down in one corner of your small town and be typing rubbish...


Delta state is amongst the most developed state in southern Nigeria if you don't know, it is a very big state and because of that towns and cities are not located close to major roads.

Because ona dey see mosogar and ogharefe along road ona go just assume say na the whole state be that


If you go to small towns in Delta like Sapele, Kwale or Ozoro.. you'll discover that this places are even more developed than some capital cities in southern Nigeria.. and the name of this places will not even appear in the list of top 5 places to stay in Delta...

Delta state HDI is really high for Nigeria standard.. almost everybody in that State can read and write.. including old people.. and poverty is not rife in the State

Omo make ona no dey cap nonsense abeg.. it's just stereotypical..

kuntash:
Its the turn of Edo central. There are very qualified people from that zone, Obaseki is being fair in his position. Period!

Was oshiomole not from Edo Central ?

I have always known that Shuibu is the oppressed in this quarrel..

Mindlog:
Fact is that OP is his younger brother, assisting him while he is still carving out his own path in life with food and the occasional transport fare is not out of place. When he starts earning something from the phone repairs he is learning, then he can contribute.

In the future when they are both married and this present issue becomes the root of their acrimonious relationship, na wife whey no know how the problem take start na im dey go dey blame for causing disunity between brothers.

Omo, the response I am seeing on this thread are terrible...

Somebody that is easily swayed by opinions may come here and see this and think that the senior brother is doing nothing wrong. And begin to imbibe all this their poverty/sapa induced mentality

A stranger is not supposed to be treated the op is being treated, not to talk of family.. and yes siblings are responsible for the wellbeing of their younger ones..

BoldBrainz:
This is not me endorsing or supporting Obaseki's display of outright wickedness, but if there's one thing you don't want to do as a person, it's to deeply offend a core and unempathic Niger Deltan!

Like the fulanis, we don't forgive or forget. That we often tend to be quiet in the face of provocations (unlike our brothers in the East), doesn't make us weak. We pick our battles wisely.

Nyesom Wike is the only Southerner to openly fight a Fulani man and his kin in recent Nigerian history and get away with it. The records are there for you to check.

This one just dey talk off point

Nonny95:
Your eyes don open?

And who told you that my eyes were closed before ?

Nonny95:
Student Loan. ❌
Subsidy Removal. ❌
Distribution of Palliatives. ❌
Afrexim Bank $3 billion loan. ❌
Rate Unification (Naira Float). ❌

Not a single Policy has worked, except the duplication of MC Uluomo’s Lagos Template in Abuja.

Why is it so? Has Tinubu lost track or we we should continue waiting and gnashing teeth?

Truth be told. Only peter obi gave a simple and valid solution to Nigerias economic woes..

Until Nigeria moves to a producing nation.. everything will remain the same. It is simple economics

Wordson:
Man U , Aswear u did well even if u didn't win...
U did well..
Just go settle well, I tell u, u fit beat Bayern for Old Trafford!!
Nice game, u gave Bayern a run for their money ..

I am a manutd fan but I tell you, the reason why we are thinking that manutd tried today is because they subbed off Kane and Musiala

Nemesis0147:
Two finished clubs!

Exactly my point... Bayarn no good

Ronu

accordadoga24:
Hehehehe

Anyone not pleased with it should go and hug transformer.

It's our turn, Northerners are not complaining.

When it's the turn of the North, they will do the same thing again just as Buhari did.

North, SW, SS and MB are not wailing.

We know who the Wailers are

This wailer wan just drag Igbo into the discussion by all means 😂😂😂

You see any ibo complain ?

BOSSkesh:
Keep wailing
When the igbos have the opportunity they should do their own

It has turned out that you people are the wailers in all of this

Because Igbos no really send ona, but you people find a way to rope them into everything...

Na north dey complain but you people will not face Dem

Lying ronu propaganda pushers want to bend truth

Liers!!!

Trying to rope Jonathan into this tribalistic administration

It is clear that there is truth to the original story..

The plot came to light by chance, and now the plotters are trying to manufacture variations to the original story, to deflect attention from the original news.

LordGuru1:
From forcing his People on every stratas and sections of Leadership to trying to Use RUGA Law to Hijack the indigenous Fatherlands and Ancestral Homelands of Nigerians for his People being massively imported into Nigeria from other Countries, coupled with intentional Silence as Nigerians were being unprecedentedly massacred Nationally on their Farmlands, in Villages, Homes, it is unarguable that Nigeria witnessed the most heartlessly Nepotistic Presidency ever under Buhari.

But as for Goodluck Azikiwe Jonathan blatant Nepotism(some say he was pocketed and his Government was hijacked), it was epidemic in all sections of Leadership too. To clearly remind ourselves what happened in all Ministries during Jonathan era, let's use Ministry of Finance under Okonjo-Iweala as example IN CASE YOU MISSED…

This was how Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Jonathan’s Minister of Finance, then thought it fit, to arrange Nigeria’s finance sector. -

1] Central Bank, Governor – Godwin Emefiele - Ibo

2] Central Bank, Deputy Governor – Okwu Nnana - Delta-Ibo

2] AMCON, DG - Chike Obi – Ibo

3] Securities & Exchange Commission, DG - Arunma Oteh - Ibo

4] Nigerian Stock Exchange, DG - Oscar Onyeama - Ibo

5] Securities and Investment Tribunal, DG - Ngozi Chianakwalam -
Ibo

6] Sovereign Wealth Fund, DG - Uche Orji - Ibo

7] NAICOM - Chibudum Nwuche - Ibo

8] Chief Economic Adviser to the President, Nwanze Okidegbe - Ibo

9] Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria, CEO - Jim Obazee - Ibo

10] Pencom, DG - Chinelo Amazu – Ibo

11] Budget Office, DG - Bright Okogu – Ibo

#ItsYourTurnToKeepQuiet

George Udom

Lies

First off Jonathan is from the south south, how many South South names are in that list

Secondly, because NOI is Igbo, you tried to make it look like she was the one that made the appointments.. which is not true.

Thirdly PDP ran a very nationalistic government in it's 16 years in power I'm sure that if you pull out a complete data of all Jonathans appointments you will see a fair representation of all ethnic nationality

Not this madness that Buhari and now Tinubu is exhibiting

I am laughing at people that are thinking that this news is fake

Ona never know Nigeria

I won't put psquare on that list, cause the hype that comes with music decreases with age... Music career has a very short life span. It is tied with age..

People like tuface, timaya, psquare should even be applauded for still remaining relevant for over many years now.

If you think say e easy, ask olamide, phyno, falz, runtown, ricardo banks, Lol kesh, dbanj, Cynthia Morgan,

leanonme82:
Why would big brother put in 14 igbo housemates, and 2 past igbo winners into this show?

Isnt it greed? So mercy and Whitemoney should get 120million again when there are plenty past housemates to choose from. Even one of the former contestants from the middlebelt was complaining she wanted to be on it but was not picked. This greed na their stock in trade. Ebuka just plug him people. Shiorr.

Big brother Umunna.

We got it wrong in 2015

If Nigeria had continued under the steady progress of Jonathan... And replace him with another person that was less political and educationally sound as he was, E for no bad for us like this

DropsMic:
The only region in the entire western africa that suffers from Selective amnesia… When their brother was president they totally forgot to mention anything about the rising level of insecurity across their geopolitical zone, ma now them dey find their voices. I wonder what changed.

Thank you
I was actually waiting for someone to mention this..

I don't support Tinubu and most likely would not do so.

But this northern senators are only talking now cause a Southerner is in power

Mali and Burkina Faso do coup nothing happen, e reach Niger own.. table shake.

And the simple reason is because they are bordering a very strong country in Nigeria...

Sack that pesero abeg

Cameroon medium ?

This must be fake
