FROM GOWON TO JONATHAN BUHARI IS
THE ONLY NIGERIAN LEADER THAT NEVER
TOUCHED THE PRICE OF FUEL
YAR'ADUA was the only leader who did not
increase, rather he
reduced the pump price from #75 to #65
(may his soul rest in peace).

Ya'radua was the best Nigeria ever had...his short term far better than the whole of Jonah's...Ya'radua was a good man at heart and in doing, and his manhood legacy will live on (in GMB). But Abacha & OBJ?...God go judge dia case separate together with 'em Lucifer

yeah, that was my point when the writer only acknowledged Yar'adua and not Buhari who didn't touch it at all. maybe he's a TANOID?

However,

Let us not sermonise Yaradua because he is dead please, it is an insult to those of us who vividly remember his seven point agenda with no motion, or Turai and Aondoaka, or Maurice Iwu, or the dismantling of the EFCC. This is the problem with Nigerians, very very very short attention span. The Yaradua presidency was nothing to write home about.

The first mistake ever made by the Jonathan administration nd which contributed to his downfall was this singular act. Personally I've refused to forgive him for this, for Christ sake which father pours sand in his child's garri instead of sugar? which father puts his child in confusion nd suffering on FIRST day of the year?! shocked if he did it on any other day it wouldnt av bn painful as on the FIRST! . People sold their belongings at ridiculously low prices just to get fares back to their base.
since then I've known that this is not a people's government undecided Those Jezebels in his government have advised him wrongly while promoting their IMF agenda.

I don't know what you are implying by "sermonise" but Ya'radua's short term is far better than Jonah's...that's a fact. He had a vision, and he was working to actualise it if only he had more time. In his time, we were never satisfied but we never go hungry...So what's your point?

My point is Yaradua's tenure was bad and visionless, period! Don't know what Jonathan's tenure being bad as well has got to do with that!

Visionless?...really?...and you mentioned the 7point agenda?...lol

And Jonah's being bad gives governance a whole new meaning of mediocrity...afterall we are comparing governments under different people, so why shouldn't we mention Jonathan's?

Yes, visionless. What did he achieve with the seven point agenda, just name one of the agenda that was fulfilled. Making a list of things does not make one a visionary. Yaradua government was a FAILURE. Jonathan's government was bad and so was Yaradua's, I will not sit back and allow someone rewrite the history of a presidency I remember vividly. All I remember from Yaradua's tenure was seven point agenda without results, massive impunity under Turai, Maurice Iwu, a very corrupt and heavy handed AGF called Aondoaka who shielded UK government from investigating Ibori, do I go on? That is the presidency you want to come here and defend, shameless fellow.
