Nigerian economy was doing relatively well under the last regime, though GEJ was not fond of blowing his own trumpet and his media personnel weren't showcasing most of his good works to the nation/the world.

All of a sudden some political parties decided to merge together, thus the birth of APC, and began to chant the "change" mantra, promising Nigerians everything 'promisable' :

1. $1 equivalent to N1.

2. Free lunch for all public primary school pupils.

3. N5,000 monthly allowance to all unemployed youths.

4. Stoppage of Boko Haram Menace within 3 months.

5. Belonging to everybody and belonging to nobody.

6. Constant power supply.

7. Corruption fight.

8. Reduction of fuel price from N87 to N45.

Etc.


Now that Buhari's APC has been voted in, he denied making any of the promises except NO. 5 which he made after the election.


NONE of the promises has been met.

Promise NO. 6 was partially met initially but quickly abandoned half way.



The Nigerian economy has dwindled so much.

Importers/manufacturers/industrialists are being witch-hunted daily at the airports and branded criminals for travelling with money for their businesses.
Investors are shying away from Nigeria.

Workers salaries are not paid.


Dollar keeps gaining rapid value against Naira.

Fuel price keeps increasing albeit unofficially.


There is so much poverty in the land.


We waited for 6 months for Ministerial nomination only for the nominees' list to turn out to be a huge disappointment : a bunch of recycled/old corrupt politicians. Even corrupt Amechi, Fashola, Audu Ogbeh, Lai Mohammed etc made the list.


The Judiciary/DSS have been bought over by the Federal Government. All APC tribunal cases are successful while those of their political counterparts are not.

The fight for corruption is only against non APC members especially PDP members.

Tinubu keeps manipulating the judiciary/National Assembly/President.



Nigerians can you see what you have done to yourselves?

Truly speaking, if it ain't broken DON'T FIX IT.

God bless Nigeria.

Let me assume you are actually genuinely open to discuss this issue and you're not a paid hack.Your post is based on a very narrow minded premise. The Nigerian economy was broken before Jonathan left office and would have had no hope if he won again because there would have been no hope of reform needed to fix what the PDP government of the past 16 tears including him, broke.

Jonathan came into power with money in the treasury and relative peace in comparison to what we have today. For most of the time he was in power oil was selling at record levels, yet by the time he left, Nigeria was borrowing money to pay salaries. How on earth do you call that a working government and economy? What did Jonathan actually do for the economy except refuse to reform or tackle corruption? Please don't let us go there with your ignorance, this thing is recent history, it did not happen 50 years ago. Come back in another 30 years and maybe people will buy into this propaganda.

Lastly, no offence but "if it ain't broke don't fix it" is a dumb philosophy that shows absolutely no forward looking. It is a mentality that prevents forward future thinking needed for sustained growth, and is foolishly reactive.

buhari is a bastard

Do you know how much GEJ left in our treasury before leaving office?


Why is the former EFCC Chairman not being probed?



Who wants to share the trillions with him?


Ever wondered why the fight against corruption is one sided?
Why did Buhari deny his promises?

Why is Buhari now doing the things he condemned GEJ for eg seeking aids from other African countries against Boko Haram.

Why did Buhari appoint corrupt peiple in his cabinet?

Who is deceiving who?

By the way have you or any of yours received the N5k promise for the unemployed youths?



And talking about payment, yes I know that you are one of the paid e-rats. You were probably woken from your sleep to come urgently to this post to kill it but you cannot.

Everybody knows that Buhari has failed.


He should leave governance to those who know how to do so.
His cattle are missing him.

Not unemployed so wouldn't know. Don't ask me how much Jonathan left in the treasury, tell us how much was there before he went in (accross all the main accounts), how much he left, and how much Nigeria got from oil sales in the 5 years he was in power. No need for the silly proaganda, let us stick to facts.

A very big one.

You so condemn the PDP leadership but you are very comfortable with seeing their former leader Audu Ogbeh in Buhari's cabinet.

Here's the deal: decamp to APC and your sins will be washed with hysop. Remain in PDP and you will be witch-hunted.

I repeat: Buhari is a failure.

Sorry but now you just sound daft. You were willing to give PDP 16 years and Jonathan 5 years to achieve his phantom dreams he was never working towards, and you are now shouting "Buhari can't even keep on of his promises" after 5 months in power? How can anyone take you seriously with such obviously biased and childish reasoning? APC is a political party, Buhari is not the head of APC and at the end of the day the party fields candidates. And no I don't think all these candidates are saints, one example being Sylva, so please don't try and read my mind because you are terrible at it, I am not partisan I am pro good governance.

To address your other points, when did the Naira start losing it's value? Do you think an economy that has been dogged by government corruption and poor infrastructure can be turned around in 5 months? Stop being peurile, at least try pretending to be objective. At the end of the day this was a choice between continued failed leadership of Jonathan and a change. I can't believe any right thinking individual not blinded by bigotry and myopia would advocate we should have continued down a path that was already destroying the country. Just shocking and shameful. It's not even about political philosophy, it was about if you aggreed with a laissez-faire attitude to government corruption and bad leadership and impunity, or not.

One more thing. The fact that most people being pursued by EFCC for large financial crimes are PDP members makes perfect sense because PDP was in control of the nation's purse for 16 years, not APC. So no, not everything is about partisanship.

P.S - Jonathan left Nigeria $63 billion in debt, enduring fuel scarciities, and with government borrowing money to pay salaries. Not everyone has amnesia like you lot. It wasn't rosy and it would take time to fix.

Anybody with common sense knows where the economy is heading. Financial collapse is inevitable.

You keep lying against GEJ and keep referring people to him once Buhari's sins are mentioned. Didn't he promise us change?


You are yet to answer any of my questions, instead you began to insult yourself.


Has Buhari kept any of his promises or should we expect him to do so in 2019?

Not lying against Jonathan, only stating the facts. There should be honest and critical discussions had about government policy yes. But you did not open this thread to discuss policy, you opened this thread to spew propaganda and throw a tantrum, and that is quite apparent. Policy does not exist in a vaccum and is grounded in reality. The fact that Buhari took over a failing and badly mismanaged country and economy is simply a part of that reality that policy has to be evaluated against. What I am against is a rewriting of that reality that was only 5 months ago and which we can all remember and was very well documented. It is uneccesary and silly.

Now when you are ready to grow up and have a mature discussion about policies and what direction this government is taking, let me know. Till then I leave you to fester in you ignorance.

And when we mention Biafra y'all will start reacting like a vampire that was poured holy water...mtcheww

You are a very callous being. Because of the peanuts you get paid monthly by your e-rat employers you come here to selfishly defend a man who has murdered our great country's economy. A 'certificateless ' man whose only proof of education is renting of classmates each time he globe trots with tax payers' money.

You know that Buhari has denied all the promises he made yet you keep lying that he will keep them in 2019.

with the manner you started you comment I'd taught that you have a lot of facts to present in countering the writers opinion. Let me correct you a bit, Nigerian economy never got broken (neither under GEJ's administration nor PMB's), Nigeria only witnessed economic down turn which also affected most countries of the world.
Jonathan met money in the treasury and he also left money in the treasury that is while the FG was able to offer bailout to bankrupt APC states. FG never borrowed money to pay salaries under GEJ's administration and he didn't owe any state at as when he left office rather, it was the APC state govts that borrowed to pay salaries (e.g oyo state). In spite of the fall in crude price and the rise in exchange rate, prices of food commodities where relatively stable under GEJ's administration (evidence of good governance).
If you are interested in this debate, counter my claims with facts! Let's the debate begins............!

if u are still waiting for Buhari to put foods on ur table guess what u are on ur own .............. from the day 1 i knew quiet well that Buhari is not the type of person to rule a country of 170millions, since he left head of state what manner can u identify buhari for ? what has he contribute to his society he belong too ? when someone we talk they will say he is not part of corrupt society , but he can go to a lent to critics others. i wonder what type of economy theory can Nigeria gain from this type of people..... ..... i weep for this nation .







Buhari is not fit to rule a nation like Nigeria especially a global world , someone should tell buhari that this is 21st century he should just table a resignation letter..... at least we recall him for a president of 5 month.

Often time I try not to join issues with those that sees possibility in PMB. my reason for doing so is simple: a good leader must be a patriotic citizen. Since Buhari left office as a head of state, had anyone seen him present in any forum where issues bordering on welfare of this country is discuss? How can such a man whose brain has gone obsolete offer you a meaningful leadership in tandem with the demands of 21st century?
