APC: we will normalize crude oil price

Masses; that's just plain stupid! Crude oil is a world thing you know, this shows you are the real 'CLUELESS' ones.

Oga jonah, not minding his business since 2009

Adminisher:
I am an APC supporter but on this story of queues for commodities he did not a lie. The only problem is that he was criticizing something that was good and most Nigerians supported.
The Story:
NPN the rulling party before Buhari regime had looted treasury, oil prices were also down to $35 a barrel due to the international manipulations and foreign exchange was scarce. Buhari and Idiagbon were not going take foreign loans and devalue the currency. They were so sure that the problem of foreign exchange was a temporary one and could always be rode through that they rationed foreign exchange and all imported consumer goods had to be rationed. They also started partnering with local manufacturers Nestle, Cadburys, st.c to expand local manufacturing capacity.

So Jonathan is right, we queued but unlike him we liked it because we knew our naira was just N2 to the $1 and that all the ''essential commodities" were soon to be made in Nigeria. Anyway, IBB came later and destroyed everything and the entire country.

I doubt if any of the military regimes met a barrel of oil at 19-35 usd. Obasanjo in 1999 met a barrel of oil at 9 usd..

GEJ had a long stretch of oil boom , with little or no debt to worry about, he even increased petrol price from 65 to 97 naira, and went on a borrowing spree.

MOBJECTIVE:
Let me school you with a better scenario

3 children in the same school are to collect school fees from the same parents amounting to N20 000 each. The eldest of them lies about the amount, and says it is N40 000, so the parents give each child N40 000.
The second eldest has no problem with this and so collects the money. The youngest and most innocent however is troubled by this, but to assuage the guilt of taking all N40 000, he only takes his N20 000 and finds a way to secretly return the remaining to his parents purse. But he turns a blind eye to the actions of his fellow siblings and always plays mr good boy when he is around them.


Tell me, is there anyway he could have done things differently that would have been better for his family as a whole? Is his family still not leaking N40 000 each year. Is he really helping his siblings and washing himself clean of guilt by ignoring their actions?

My own answer: My conscience and Catholic faith tells me even this young boy is wrong in his actions. Simple.

e no go better for my papa when give my ashawo mother belle wen she take born mumu like me. spreading lies to win sympathy. Every body is not frustrated like me and my useless family. My drunk of a father that could not give me a good upbringing should be blame for pathetic condition.

Numismatic:
The usual tactics of the so called progressives..resorting to hurling of insults..I will let that pass..be kind to your self and upload the letter here, and stop showing your age..

Numismatic:
Look at this young man! I said show us the letter and you are referring me to google..am sure you are literate

Mee234:
Very typical of a mind void of a measure of sanity. Not being taken in by your shameless lies is now an offence in your useless brain. All the outburst of frustration by you and your principal will not hand your illiterate general the presidential position if you people do not start telling Nigerians what he will do differently. mumu 2015. the chance of your cattle rearing general crying on 15th of next month is sliding toward 70%.

MOBJECTIVE:
*scoffs* "set a good example?" If ignoring corruption is setting a good example the idea of a good example has been bastardized. An example of a good example is Achebe turning down his national award ENTIRELY and TWICE in protest of the corruption that was going on in his home state, Anambra, which was supported by Obasanjo.

If Buhari wants to form mr incorruptible:
1) he shouldn't partake at all in what he himself termed corrupt

2) he could have taken concrete steps to stop what he termed corrupt, by possibly sponsoring a bill to stop it

3) most importantly, he should not ignore corruption.

Otherwise, he should take the money and stop being a hypocrite.

Btw, what does my father have to do with this discussion?

MOBJECTIVE:
It would not be wrong if it were just pension. The person who i quoted wrote this:

"All heads of states collect on the average 23 million Naira every month, apart from General Muhammadu Buhari. He (General Buhari) objected to collecting most of the allowances,insisting they were bogus and therefore amount to corruption."

I dont know any other country that pays former heads of state the same salary as a head of state, or gives them allowances, which is what i infer from this post. This means mr buhari can collect what he is entitled anytime he wants so his current actions are cheap: collect what i feel right and leave corruption to fester, which is wrong. Ignoring corruption is wrong.

I hope you get my post now.

Udmaster:
President Goodluck Jonathan is the Best Head Of State in Nigeria since 1999 Democracy.
All sectors in Nigeria have been touched in a positive way.
Nigeria is the Largest Economy in Africa now.
New Federal Universities/TETfund projects.
Railway sector is been reformed.
Polio is a thing of the past with many fed. Hospital ben rehabilitated and reformed.
He supported the Agricultural sector and Power generation have improved.

Just my 2cent.

MOBJECTIVE:
The fact that he collects anything at all is wrong.

Numismatic:
Show us evidence of the letter that he wrote.. If not stop this cheap propaganda..

scribble:
not all affluent people make their money from government

and just because you are poor doesnt mean that Jonathan is the author of your poverty....

Ask your father and mother the role Buhari played as well as IBB, Abacha, OBJ and others

Dont worry, e go better one day

Just leave your vindictive mentality behind because as a rule poverty follows people with cruel intentions
