Pls let comment maybe 2nd term dey sure for dis man ?.....

BRIEF HISTORY OF CORRUPTION IN NIGERIA.....

1. 1960 - 1966: Sir Abubakar Tafawa - Balewa's tenure - no
public funds stolen

2. 1966: Major - General Aguiyi Ironsi's. brief tenure - no public funds stolen

3. 1966 - 1975: General Yakubu Gowon's tenure - very little corruption creeping in

4. 1975 - 1976: General Murtala Ramat Muhammed's tenure - zero tolerance for corruption and indiscipline

5. 1976 - 1979: General Olusegun Aremu Matthew Okikiola Obasanjo's tenure - rulers started owning large properties running into millions of dollars

6. 1979 - 1983: President Shehu Shagari's tenure - characterized by weak leadership. Ministers and other top functionaries had a field day looting all the lootable public funds and properties even though the President himself was not stealing any dime!

7. 1984 - 1985: Major - General Muhammadu Buhari's tenure - zero tolerance for corruption, indolence and indiscipline. Corrupt politicians were jailed a minimum of 100 years in prison each!

8. 1985 - 1993: General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida's tenure -
freed all the corrupt politicians jailed by General Buhari. These
same freed politicians are majorly the same set of politicians ruining
Nigeria now. During Babangida's tenure public funds were being carted away by public servants like confetti.

In one fell swoop, about 12 billion dollars mysteriously vanished!

9. 1993 - 1998: General Sani Abacha's tenure - five billion dollars and more stolen in his five
years tenure

10. 1998 - 1999: General Abdulsalami Abubakar's 11 months tenure -About 2 billion dollars were alleged to have
been stolen. Anyway the man is among the wealthiest people in the country today!

11. 1999 - 2007: President Olusegun Matthew Aremu Okikiola Obasanjo's second tenure - His bank account grew from twenty thousand naira after emerging from prison to being a multi-billionaire with choice properties in Nigeria and major cities
of the world. Public infrastructure declined massively and gangsterism became the order of the day.

Corruption prospered massively in his tenure!

In one fell swoop, 16 billion dollars just vanished, allegedly for
electric power projects but darkness was supplied and is still
being supplied in large quantity! In another mysterious disappearance the sum of 300 billion naira (2 billion dollars) meant for road projects also vanished into thin air!

12. 2007 - 2010: Late President Yar'adua's tenure - A quiet reserved and the messiah that did not live long to be! The noiseless tenure. But due to perpetual ill-health was unable to tame corruption. Had a slightly large family but he never allowed public funds to be spent on feeding the first family!

13. 2010 - Present: President Ebele Goodluck Jonathan's
tenure?

What is your assessment?...

was on point ... Gracias
To me, Goodluck is one of the best things that has ever happened to Nigeria but most people are too blind to notice that.

President jona regime is the best regime we have ever hard in political history despite that some dubious vendors went sponsoring boko haram to make this country a mockery before the international community.
