One of these men could have changed Nigeria but...

Petrol
Obasanjo: met it at 20 naira left it at 75 naira
Yaradua: met it at 75 naira left it at 65 naira
Johnathan: met it at 65 naira left it at 87 naira
Buhari: met it at 87 naira current price is 165 naira

Dollar
Obasanjo: met it at 85 naira/ 1 dollar left it at 125 naira
Yaradua: met it at 125 naira/ 1 dollar left it at 170 naira
Johnathan: met it at 170 naira /1 dollar left it at 200 naira
Buhari: met it at 200 naira/ 1 dollar current price is 583 naira


Rice ( 50 kg)
Obasanjo: met it at 2,500 naira left it at 4,500 naira
Yaradua: met it at 4,500 naira, left it at 3,500 naira
Johnathan: met it at 3,500 naira left it at 10, 000 naira
Buhari: met it at 10,000 naira, current price is 48,000 naira

Cement (50 kg)
Obasanjo: met it at 1000 naira left it at 2,800 naira
Yaradua: met it at 2,800 naira left it at 1, 600 naira
Johnathan: met it at 1,600 naira left it at 2,500 naira
Buhari: met it at 2,500 naira, current price is 4,800 naira

Yaradua was obviously a sick man but he was the best, if only he lived to fulfill his mission for Nigeria, We wouldn't have been in this mess of today.

He was a good man but that is because he did not stay longer.So also was Muritala Muhammed.Most Nigerian leaders perform averagely well in their 1,2,3 years in office
I rememer when people will shout say baba in the early stage of Buhari.
Nigeria was built not to develop and really move forward especially when unitary system of government was introduced and the 1999 constitution was constituted to compound the problem.
Check the antecedents of any leader you want to bring in without sentiments.
Are his or her antecedents of growth,development and building human resources?

We all were blinded by ethnic and religious sentiments.This is where it has brought us.

Back to the topic. All these leaders brought cosmetic approach to Nigeria's problem.

For years our refineries had been experiencing yearly turn around maintenance that runs into hundreds of millions dollars without commensurate result of oil production. But at the twilight of Obasanjo's regime in 2007 to avert further waste, he sold Kaduna refinery to Dangote at a give away price of $165 million dollars. The following day after Yaradua was sworn in he revoked the sale!

Kaduna oil refining has not improved. But the yearly turn around maintenance continue till date running to billions of dollars.

I don’t think so, his was a different case, take the US for example, Biden is just in his First year in office, yet the whole economy is in Chaos. What about when Buhari first got elected? The price of goods increased in his first year. I just think Yaradua is an exception.

Yar adua met the most perfect condition on ground as president, he is the luckiest ever president.

He met a country where all her debt have been paid

He met a massive $64bn as savings

Over $40bn in foreign reserves

There were no serious security challenge

Obasanjo had left behind a robust economy, sound economic climate, low debt and massive savings!

Yar adua did not improve on any of this he just glided through office

Yar adua is not the best he was just the luckiest.

But as today is Good Friday Jesus Christ has now conquered satan from Nigeria and Jesus Christ is now the new owner of Nigeria from today. We just need to relax now and watch Nigeria become like Rome as Jesus Christ is now the new owner.

Wrong! Obasanjo did not pay off Nigeria's debt, rather his Minister for Finance Mrs Ngozi Okonjo Iweala was responsible for all the efforts that led to Nigeria’s debt cancellation. Our debt was 30 billion dollars and 18 billion us dollars was forgiven thanks to Ngozi Okonjo iweala . It was not paid!
So tell me how he was lucky

Oga stop being petty, he met a debt of $34bn, negotiated forgiveness of $18bn and paid off the rest.

How can a minister of finance pay off a country's debt? Was she a sovereign head? She was an agent of the president working for her principal. So how come the same Okonjo Iweala couldn't do same for Jonathan?

Obasanjo is a collosus in international circle, was it Okonjo Iwela that hosted 3 different American Presidents and the queen of England here in Nigeria? How many other presidents have done that?

Obasanjo leveraged on his international connections to negotiate the deal, Okonjo Iweala was an employee of the world bank, she was released to work with Obasanjo to ensure that the deal works well to the fine details.

Obasanjo that was among the five eminent personalities chosen in the whole world by the UN for South Africa, the same Obasanjo that became the chairman of the association of past presidents of the world, the same Obasanjo that was a contestant for UN secretary general position.

Please do not compare Obasanjo and Okonjo Iweala even Okonjo Iweala herself can never do so!

Han han, how can an educated person say that a minister of finance paid off her nation's debt. I could never have thought it possible!

Eh eh, I like your backings, seems I have learnt a new truth today. But I will carry out some findings. Thank to you. But at the same times there is no concept as ’Lucky’ in government rather I think we should acknowledge the truth, what if he was Buhari’s kind of person, don’t you know he would have destroyed Nigeria within 3 years. Or what about other Country with good economies, would you say their country is good because Their predecessors left some money in reserves . Let me remind you that even Obasanjo met Reserves money and Saving when he took office, So that is not a point. Even Buhari met reserves and savings but look where we are today. Please strike your points accurately next time.
Yaradua was the best of all Four men!

You mean Jesus is the owner of more than 100 million Muslims and more than 5 million traditional worshippers? Nigeria belongs to either God or the devil but not Jesus. Abi you never hear Jesus talk say ’my kingdom is not part of this world’.

All the people that I know always had/have only praise for Muritala Mohammed.


So, maybe the man that gave you that gist just had personal vendetta against Muritala Mohammed.
