Allocation from Ifa?

kastonkastrol:
first yar'adua didn't spend 3years in office.. Don't forget yaradua never wanted the presidency, it was entrusted to him by serendipity but still he made some meaningful achievements like ;



• our energy crisis reduced drastically
• good reforms were implemented in our education sector.
• niger/delta amnesty
• reduced pms price to 65naira
• created many jobs
• don't forget yar'adua had to stabilize our falling economy against dropping oil prices and production due to niger/delta terror.
• yar'adua recovered Nigeria from obj's cabal.
• he tried his best to fight corruption( the dangote, otedola comes to mind)


If only yar'adua didn't die, I believe he would have realized his 7points agenda, unfortunately death wasn't so friendly with him.

So you really need to give some credits to yar'adua.

So those are standards on how you measure his success?


Education?[/b]No good reforms were implemented in the education sector under Yar'Adua (I can't remember any)
Reduction of pms to 65 naira also increased subsidy expenses
[b]Employment?[/b]How and where did Yar'Adua create jobs?
[b]Stabilize our economy? It was the money that OBJ left in the excess crude account that Yar'Adua was using to fund his government.
Cabal?[/b]He also created his own cabal with his best friends Ibori and Igbenidion. They held the country hostage when he died.
[b]Corruption? Yeah. He was the one who sacked Ribadu and sent him to the classroom to learn "Strategic Studies"

Lets not rewrite history, Yar'Adua failed.

Proffdada:
he didn't fail
He was overthrown because of his success in correcting a failed shagari regime
Nigerians didn't celebrate his absence, it was the hooligans he disciplined that celebrated

His success in correcting a failed regime? Lol

How exactly did he correct the failures? By stealing power and setting us 15 years back?

You can't rewrite history with lies my brother.

Thats about 50 billion naira a year.

Thats too paltry and meager.

True.

The sociopolitical foundation upon which Nigeria rests was built to perpetuate greed and injustice. This is why the country will continue to fail. It will not stop until we reconsider the fundamental problems hindering our progress and growth.

Gogetta:
O yes, we were!

Nigeria has never been a glorious country.

aresa:
Slowly regaining our long lost glory..


Go VP...

Lol. Was Nigeria ever a glorious country?

He will be accused of corruption. He wants to learn the hard way.

BrokenTV:
And remove GEJ from that list he is better than all the others combine togetter.

I'd love to but that will be against popular opinion.

SarahBabyxx:
^^^the poster above is right he shouldn't be on that list


Yar'adua would have done well


As for Buhari we still have 4 years to find out.....

Yar'Adua spent three years and he didn't do well.

Proffdada:
Buhari didn't fail
He was overthrown

He failed and was overthrown. As Nigerians heard that he has been overthrown, they celebrated.
That means he failed.

kastonkastrol:
I can't fathom what you mean by "yar'adua failed" ? Can you elucidate on yar'afua's "failure" please

Lol. Do you Nigerians suffer from amnesia or what?

Three years into Yar'Adua's tenure, most Nigerians were already fed-up with the abysmal delivery of his government. They weren't feeling any positive impact.

You could tell me the achievements of Yar'Adua for the two and half (or thereabout) years he spent as president.

- He couldn't fix our refineries (he reversed their sale to private investors)
- He reduced the price of petrol thereby increasing the amount spent on subsidy
- His government made no major improvement in the power sector
- No major improvement in agriculture
- There was no increased funding to the education sector
- He reversed certain "good" policies of his predecessor (e.g. The monetization policy)
- The standard of living never improved during while he was president
- etc.

Lilimax:
You did not get the point sis.
I heard that Ndi oku isi n'ala is gradually creeping into the state and spreading like wild fire

Seriously? But what are they looking for in Ebonyi State? Is there anything special in Ebonyi that brings them there?

PhockPhockMan:
Is he not an ijaw leader?

Of course he is, but a fúcked up one.

kastonkastrol:
remove yar'adua from your list Jare. The man really wanted to give all his best to Nigeria, but death cut whatever plan(s) he has for Nigeria short..

You should also remove buhari from this your useless list

They all wanted to give their best to Nigeria but they failed. Yar'Adua failed.
Buhari also failed as military head of state.
No excuses. I'm judging from popular opinion.

How can you succeed on a mission where your fathers all failed? Do you reason at all?

Alams was there? Lol

We don't need pictures, we need ACTION!!!

They are laughing while Nigerians are dying in Borno.

One chance indeed.

Let the hookers live their lives.

Phase 1: You didn’t take to account some factors
1. Currency devaluation
2. Interest rates
3. Oil prices
These factors affect the cost of subsidy they’re very unstable. Besides, what happens while the probe is going on? Can Buhari assure Nigerians of constant fuel supply while the probe is ongoing?

Phase 2: Your plan on the power sector is not fool proof.
1. It will take more than 1 and a half year to fix our transmission infrastructure
2. Osinbajo talked about using embedded and distributive power as a short term fix. The problem with this method is that it’s very expensive. There will be little or no investment because the current tariff rates are very low. Investors will barely be able to get positive returns on their investment.
Update your time frame – 2 years and Buhari has spent about 2 trillion on subsidy.

Phase 3: Yes, Kerosene subsidy has to go but will Buhari be willing to end subsidy on Kerosene due to his pro-poor stance?

Phase4, 5, 6: What has NPDC got to do with your topic? Also remember that these contracts (management contracts) take at least six months to 1 years to be implemented.
If you add everything up, its three years plus trillions in subsidy payments.

Its a very complex situation that demands careful thought processes and planning but subsidy has to eventually go.

And Buhari is appointing spokesmen and media secretaries. He also wants to travel abroad for G7 party while he has not appointed even a security man for aso villa.

Meanwhile, GEJ is enjoying himself at the moment. No more Boko Haram wahala, everything is now on Buhari's head.

Failed president.

DropShot:
Sorry. I just thought I could debate with you but you have to be at least 25 years but from your post, I think you're far younger.

Bye bye!.

Debate with me? Lol

Kai! He looks like Ambode

DropShot:
How old are you?

Thats an irrelevant question my friend.

No wonder policemen behave themselves in the north. Na only for south dem dey get strength.

Nigeria has had 9 consecutive failed presidents(Shagari; Gen. Buhari; Gen. IBB; Shonekan; Gen. Abacha; Gen. Abdusalami; Obasanjo; Yar'Adua; GEJ
Why should Buhari be different? Saying that he will fail is just stating the obvious. Its not out of hatred, pain or jealousy. Its Logic and reason.

Why do Nigerian policemen carry rifles and other assault weapons indiscriminately?

jpphilips:
Look at it from this point of view;

Nigeria is not wealthy as such the wealth could hardly go round due to high population, no doubt about that, but the fact is that, even the little is mis managed reason we can hardly point to anything tangible done with the money, this will shock you;

The most sophisticated fighter jet in the world sell for $361m, cant we afford it? do we have it?
The longest bridge in the world cost $8.5m cant we afford it? do we have it?
one of The biggest car assembly plant in the world cost $1b, do we have it?
The biggest Refinery in the world cost $6b in three years, do you have it? cant we afford it?
The longest Natural gas Pipeline in the world cost $5.7b, do we have it? cant we afford it?
The biggest airport in the word, cost $9b do you have it? cant we afford it?
The biggest power plant in the world cost $26b do you have it? cant we afford it?

Guess what, Nigeria has one of the biggest churches in the world,

The list is endless, if Nigeria managed to get one or two of any of the above, the economic chain reaction will be enormous, a lot of people will be lifted out of poverty.
Nobody except the Govt funds to be shared amongst its citizens, purposeful spending by the govt will lift a lot of people out of poverty, what we have in Nigeria is directionless spending, corruption and insincerity of purpose.

You will be shocked that one stup!!d project in Lagos cost as much yet it still amounts to nothing. The fundamental flaw that needs to be fixed is mismanagement, nothing else. Assuming your $300b was managed properly, we could get one of those, a senseless Okonjo Iweala will definitely disagree and fix culpability on population.

Nigeria's population is supposed to be a blessing not a curse, all the countries in the world will see Nigeria as a destination for cheap labour citeris paribus, Iweala will definitely disagree.

Of course. Nobody is disputing the fact that our revenues are being mismanaged, everyone knows that. My problem is that Nigerians, even most politicians see Nigeria as an extremely rich country. We are potentially rich (like most countries in Africa) but we are dirt poor at the moment.

Honestly, can Nigeria afford to build a 6 billion dollar refinery or any other infrastructure that costs over 6 billion? Yes, we can but not under this current democratic setting. A system where whatever the country earns as foreign exchange is legally distributed to politicians in all tiers of government for spending is a huge waste. Our governmental system promotes mismanagement. Nigeria cannot and will not progress under this current system of government that promotes parasitism, greed and waste.

Our population is worthless! Literacy rate in Nigeria is below sixty percent, Life Expectancy is below 55 years, we still rank abysmally low in terms of human development.

MizMyColi:
Wait joor Bros.
Let's wish him well o. Especially his health.
The demons the man is contending with right now will make Satan Jealous. I think there is an internal power tussle within the APC... The next few days would be decisive...
Now we watch and wait...

The odds are perfectly against him. I wish him the best though.

This man's failure will surely be successful.
