In as much as I share your view, I will ad that we as a nation should be more careful who we entrust our lives to and also resist any form of evil by them! Indeed we have been grossly short-changed by the last administration to put to put it mildly. Name calling will not do us any good really; recovering as much of the stolen items (in all ramifications) and putting those culpable behind bars is a good starting point! Bevista: 2 Likes

evansvenus: Just imagine such a personal attack on US or French presidency; or British Prime minister and their citizens applaud? If the "buffon" was your leader, what are citizens who voted him in by implication? By the way, the $6 billion plus they claim his officials siphoned is still not up to the $12 billion dollars Gulf war oil windfall that IBB siphoned in just one year! Almost 26 years ago. That amount then could have transformed Nigeria. IBB is still alive, let them recover the money with interest. Thank good the "buffon" had the wisdom to put democracy first and leave power. What GMB (he even overthrew a democratic govt) or Lai or Tinubu would never have done. |

As someone who called GEJ a buffoon in the past, I can hardly disagree with that adjective used in describing GEJ. 4Play:[url]https://www.nairaland.com/2577234/read-what-swedish-reporter-says [/url] But as my post above made months ago noted, GEJ's incompetence became common knowledge after a considerable length of time in power, though I railed about his shortcomings right at the outset. In the same vein, Buhari's sheer incompetence and utter buffoonery is still under-appreciated. The Economist nailed its colours to the mast pre-elections by adopting the view that Buhari will make a better president. This was foolish in my view as history shows that Buhari's economic illiteracy was as deleterious as GEJ's blind spot for corruption. The Economist, having taken such a tendentious pro-Buhari view is invested in that view and continues to rationalise this even as evidence mounts, as clear from its own articles, that Nigeria is descending into an economic abyss facilitated by a gratuitously inept Buhari regime. 2 Likes |

REDDEVILS1: If you were in his shoes you wouldn't have fared any better. Kindly check yourself. How many leadership positions have you taken up yourself that you had a pass or did people speak well of you after you tried your best. You will agree with me that uneasy lies the head that wears the crown. Most of this economics are nothing but academic journal plagiarist. Copying peoples work up and down. Just think through no beefs and no insult brov |

You guys think you good in economics and you keep accepting the fraudulently transfered monies from our people to better the lives ofbyour own children and you economy. Now tell me how long does it take you to return abacha loot. 16 down the lane they are still giving us in bit. If your presidents past and presents are not co conspirators in fraudulent financial and money laundry stuffs they would have reyun such money at once.

Bevista:GED deserves titles worse than this, because the pains his bad government has caused us is more than the title or insults he gets from Poor Nigerians. He and his 'Cabinates' derve some useless strokes of the cane. I repeat , they deserve the hottest part of hell fire because that was not what they promised Nigerians before they got to that office, neither the Constitution they swore to. |

lagosrd:You hv to understand no one is is saying that leadership is easy, but good leadership isn't rocket science. GEJ is a good man no doubt abt that but he is a bad leader. Imagine the kind of corruption that happened under his nose. Am 1 of the few igbos that criticized his Govt. I had to cos of the impunity I saw, I didn't even know it was this bad and as time goes on more revelations will be made. The prosperity of this nations is bigger than any tribe, religion or political party. Maybe come 2019 I will vote for another party but God forbid, PMB must succeed 1 Like |

seaga: Nigerians including yourself are very short term thinkers. Jonathan came in pre-selected by affirmative action, to find a political solution to the niger-delta question that was threatening the socio-economic foundations of the country. Was it the right thing, perhaps, was it expedient, certainly because our economic woes will have started much earlier had we not 'bought' ourselves out of the militant onslaught. Lessons: Never let short term problems chart long term solutions. Stay focused on the big picture and build value, build institutions, build society. Have we learned. No. We have let yet another short term problem define our path, our time and our polity. Forgetting resource control, the current issue is corruption and once again it is at the expense of our institutions, our society and our future. So its so easy to tell how this will all end. Just as it started, just as in the 80's and most certainly, with more critical, disparaging articles. I will always say and believe, that the problem is never with the players but the game itself, never with the actors but the script. Afterall where was Jonathan in 1983. Nigerians, wake up. |

I guess now the buffoon will shut his gob and quietly await his time at Kuje prisons. Rather than his foolish globetrotting paying to get awards here and there. GEJ was truly an INEFFECTUAL BUFFOON. Never again shall we have such a reckless and clueless being as a leader. |
