IVORY2009: Are u ok? Tell me when Nigerians had never complained of hunger? If u has a family man never saved but completely spent all ur income with ur family when the days where good, using ur entire 10 fingers to feed without savings and suddenly the huge income stopped, won't hunger kill u and ur household all because of ur earlier foolish decisions? How is this different From Nigeria current situation. We have learnt our lessons but we must suffer first for our past mistakes which we are currently however, the truth is it will not remain like this forever. Infact, before this tenure ends, our finance will be in top notch. We must endure current challenges. What solution do u Av in ur head that u think the current cabinet isn't working on? The cabinet is right on point and doing what is right. |

TONY, Thank you for the unbiased assessment of these three administrations. U really exhibited maturity here as you always do by shielding your political/religious inclination in this assessment. Though I'm not a politician, that does not mean i dont kw what is happening in this country. Your question is to know the good/best or the bad/worst administration. For me personally, no administration can be a total write off. Comparing the three, i can say that the present administration headed by PMB is the worst among the three. Why i say dis is that though any government can experience economic hardship, but the way it tackles it shows how good or bad the administration is. Its just like a child having a problem in a family, the way the parents will put heads together to solve the problem will tell the child how much concern they have for him, even wen at last the problem was not successfully solved, the child will still be happy to tell the parent, never worry, you have done your best. in our issue here in Nigeria, the administration behaves as if she is not ready to solve the problems of this country, instead they tend to creat more problems. Buhari using military force to subdue the Niger Delta Agitators while all avenues of dialogue have not bn exhausted tend to show that he is more interested in the crude oil than the lives of the citizens. Buhari using the limited fund to start oil exploration in the north while we dont have functional refineries to handle the existing ones shows he is not interested in the life of Nigerians. Buhari having a selective anti corruption fight shows that he is more interested in revenge than leading. In all the periods Nigeria has undergone economic hardship, we have never hear of parents exchanging their children wit bags of rice, ppl kidnapping ppl to exchange them for food, parents cooking 5cups or rice wt 1cup of rice so that the children will be eating one spoon, one cup of water so the water get them filled instead of the food. We have never heard of any Head of State internationally declaring his citizens as criminals, it only happened during this present administration. Tony, it is countless and may not be able to exhaust wat i think this administration is doing that stands it out as the worst. So, to me, this is the worst administration we have ever had though cannot be a total write off. 2 Likes 1 Share |

It was $65billion as at September 2008. Please note that The reserve grew when the price of Crude Oil was $147 per barrel, It Slided in Mid 2008 during the recession, when the crude price fell to $35 per barrel in 2009. http://www.nigerianmuse.com/20090102021223zg/nigeria-watch/nigeria-s-foreign-reserves-dip-to-52-7-billion/. However, Umaru Yar'adua conceded to the governors and started the SHARING of ECA. The ECA was first depleted from $22billion in 2007 to $20.34 billion By end December 2008, and $6.54 billion by end of 2009 when Yar'adua went ill (CBN Annual Reports for 2008 and 2009) despite the fact that Oil price sold at $147 per barrel in 2008. Yar'adua never considered the future by taking such decision. Please read very well, was it Jonathan that depleted the account from $65b to $6.5b. stop blaming Jonathan, Buhari has taken Nigeria far behind and at this moment believe me he doesn't know what to do. 4 Likes |

TonyeBarcanista may God not punish you for this stupid post you put up here. So the present government haven't achieved anything positively. You only writing on what you perceived as negative and asking people to compare rubbish.

i took time to read the article,but it seems like a bias opinion....that is what i saw,especially readin through Buhari part,nothing to compare him with and you sayinh he fought bokoharam to a stand still,because bokoharam exploits are no longer in the front pages of newspapers,only now news abt boko haram killins only from our dear relaible source the NDA,but u wont know wat is goin on coz u are not in the north,blaming Goodluck for the current predicarment of the nation,thought yu did a research work,u should have known better,as for Obj,he did well but i am tired of ppl sayin he brought telecommunications into nigeria,telecom was a global timebomb gettn ready to explode and for the EFCC matter,me and u know,it was just a tool to keep the opposition in check,just like the current administration....on Yar adua all i cud say he had good plans fr d nation,but his illness and nigerian lack of patience is what made it look like he was stagnant,still dnt want to write off buhari,unless he changes his policyhw will be d worst president nigerian willl ever have... 1 Like |

From my own point of view, All our past presidents from 1999 till date have two things in common, which is favour and grace from God. None of them is qualified to rule this nation, but their palm kennels were cracked by their various benevolent Chi's, and all of them failed to appreciate that, and the worst is Jonathan, as for Buhari, I am still observing him with my half past 4 eye. Obasanjo would have been a cult figure and had his name cast in gold, but greed and sit tight syndrome destroyed his noble achievements. Obasanjo tried to put this country on the path of progress but later turned around and destroyed those gains. Obasanjo imposed Yaradua on us after failing to secure a third term. Obasanjo is the reason why Nigeria of today is politically divided along ethnic line by reneging on the agreement of the party that brought him to power to rotate power between North and South. That is the reason for the divided country we live in today. Yaradua would have been the best president of this great nation, but he wasn't prepared when power was delivered to him, before he will prepare his mind for the huge task ahead of him, death came knocking ( RIP baba).But he will be remembered for the amnesty programme ( though it was later abused after his death)and rule of law. We Anambrarians cannot forget him for liberating us from the doomed Andy Uba's governorship. Anambra would have been on OLX or Jiji by now. As for Jonathan, his own case needs divination, from having no shoe while growing up, to being one of us, having tasted poverty in a more cruel way. He allowed himself to be used by the most cruel and heartless cabal ever known to mankind. You can be so suprise about someone using #2 billion naira for prayer consultations or someone advertising for jobs and defrauding over 10,000 people on the process, while the actual vacant position is 2,000. Jonathan failed both God and humanity. With the exception of Yaradua, all of them performed well below expectations. 1 Like |

Nnannapat: Guy, your post is self-contradictory. You end by implying that Yar-Adua was (would have been) a good president, but the "imposition" of this same Yar Adua was one OBJ's gravest mistakes (by your submission). That's inconsistent. Do you not think there is a better narrative: that OBJ "headhunted" Yar Adua as the best of available choices to succeed him, and allowed the PDP political machinery to do whatever it did to ensure that choice (which you and others here tacitly or overtly endorse) came to power? If your facts tell you that OBJ was a good leader, be bold enough to embrace that conclusion. Otherwise, be less self-contradictory about why he was a failure. Just saying. |
Re: Appreciating The Administrations Of Obasanjo, Yar'adua, Jonathan, And Buhari by dafuturis(m): 3:31pm On Sep 05, 2016 |
Quite worrisome that no one has specifically pinpointed Yar' Adua to be the killer starter pack of our post-military economy. OBJ was futuristic in his works same thing you will immediately observe with Buhari. -He had privatised Egbin power station and our refineries, Yar' Adua came and reversed them. -He had successfully deregulated the downstream sector of our petroleum industry, yar' Adua reversed it. -He had laid a foundation to tackle corruption and mindless looting of public funds via EFCC and ICPC, Yar'Adua came onboard, first thing he did was remove Nuhu Ribadu and closed corruption cases of several governors thereby derailing the progress made by OBJ. further decay it was during GEJ's tenure as both agencies were non existent. Yar' Adua practically took us 10years backward after OBJ. if he hadn't reversed OBJ's deregulation of the downstream sector GEJ gov wont have had a subsidy flatform to steal trillions of Naira. private refineries would today be competiting to sell cheaper just like we have in the telecommunication industry. significant improvement in power generation, transmission and distribution it may have been today if the privatization was sustained with appropriate government regulations. Yar'Adua of blessed memory was damn so peaceful, slow and vissionless. He left leaving us with a Ph.D holder more vissionless, clueless and monstrously incompetent. Who sat and watch his subordinates loot the nation dry to her bones with reckless abandon. 1 Like |

Hemanwel:External Reserve of FX Reserve are assets held by the Central Bank of Nigeria. Ideally, High volume of crude sale and high cost of crude increases the Reserve(since we are mono economy) but non productivity of our economy, importation of almost everything, and archaic defence of the Naira drains our reserve(among other factors). Excess Crude Account is a savings account that monies generated from crude oil that are excess of the approved benchmark for a particular fiscal year is kept. This account usually serve as a fall back during economic shock or threat. For instance, if the $22billion left by OBJ on ECA had been sustained or improved by Yar'adua and Jonathan(and not shared), Nigeria would have fallen back to it in era of falling oil price that we are facing. Though it isn't an excusing for recession under the present arrangement. The external debts are monies borrowed from foreign entity. If we borrow from an entity in Ghana or USA, it is external, but if it is within Nigeria, it is internal. 2 Likes |

Nice write-up Obasanjo was a great leader who thought about the future, but his military style of leadership had its advantages (why he was able to achieve much ) and disadvantages. The following two governments were undone by the glutinous governors who reigned with them (come 2019, the youths have to take charge). Having Buhari has president is just like having the military style of Obasanjo but without his great visions for the future |

I don't like Buhari's government one bit. He is extremely callous, insensitive, clueless, directionless. There's no point waiting till the end of his tenure. He has already failed woefully. Look at what he has reduced the country to and somebody is here singing his praise. People commit suicide as a result of frustration and hopelessness and nobody sees it as caused by bad government. Well, we need a new government and just anyone will be better than this one. 1 Like |
