Newbiee: Okonjo Iweala, a woman that had seen it all
could come out to say at an American
conference that the SEED OF THIS RECESSION
WAS PLANTED DURING THE JONATHAN REGIME
DUE TO OUR LACK OF FINANCIAL DISCIPLINE,
INABILITY AND LACK OF POLITICAL WILL TO
SAVE. People should not blame jonathan alone
for this because the profligate Nigerian
Governors too are culpable. He attempted to
save, but the governors demanded to take all the
savings citing constitutional right. Money they
took and stole at the same time. Our case is
pathetic.
Do you know that:
Obasanjo's administration earned # 17trn from
crude oil sales within eight years and left behind
45bn dollars external reserves and 3.348bn
dollars external debt.
Yaradua grew the reserves to 64bn dollars
within just one year and the administration was
able to finance 15 months of imports despite the
2008/2009 world economic meltdown. Hence,
Nigeria survived the melt down because of the
political will by the administration to save (a great
achievement by Yaradua which most Nigerians
are not aware of). Despite the tough economic
reality at that time, Yaradua left 47.7bn dollars in
reserves and an external debt of 3.94bn dollars.
Meanwhile, the administration earned only # 9trn
from crude oil sales within that short period.
Now, Jonathan administration witnessed an oil
boom when Brent crude sold for over 100
dollars/barrel, with the regime earning # 51trn
within a period of 5years. But because of
corruption, the administration did not only
squander the oil revenue but even depleted the
reserves left by Yaradua, leaving just 32bn
dollars and a huge external debt of 63bn dollars
for Buhari.
The same Brent crude sold for as low as 35
dollars/barrel at a point shortly after Buhari took
over power and had only managed to climb to
about 48 dollars just recently.
These are facts that can be verified. So, it's
amazing hearing people criticize Buhari for the
hunger in the land.
According to Fashola, Buhari's administration
inherited 206 uncompleted road projects and
contract arrears worth #2.1trn from Jonathan;
and for about 2 to 3 years the contractors where
not paid. This slowed down the economic
activities, with most of the companies laying off
their staff. This was when the seed of recession
was sowed.
It's obvious that Buhari came in to rescue
Nigeria, because if Jonathan had continued in
power, the nation's economic crisis would have
been worse, perhaps even the Federal
government wouldn't have been able to pay
salaries of civil servants by now.
According to Okonjo Iweala, Nigeria started
borrowing money to pay salaries since October,
2014; but today Nigeria now borrow money for
investment in capital projects.
Those who blame Buhari for the current
hardship do so either out of mischief (hatred) or
ignorance. So, we shouldn't join the bandwagon
in criticising him. He may not have done much to
save the situation, considering that he is not a
perfect human being but he means well for the
country and can only succeed with our prayers.
May Almighty God continue to guide Buhari
Administration and Nigerians in general.
Why not share this piece with others for the
sake of enlightenment and conscious prayers for
our nation. We have the responsibility to
enlighten others. Mischievous, ignorant people/
politicians should not drag us backwards. Who paid you for this? 2 Likes |

"The states have to take ownership. We can’t stop the states from conducting aptitude test. They (states) need to verify, in the verification proper, and if they want to do a test, they want to authenticate that they (applicants) actually own these certificates and that they actually live in the vicinity where they say they live."
-So what happens if they fail the aptitude test? - Would States replace the affected ones? - What is the area of concentration for the Test? - How does government back fill candidates not accepted by States?
Another problem ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png)
- "they want to authenticate that they (applicants) actually own these certificates?"
How? do they write to their institutions or get transcripts delivered or buy NECO/WAEC scratch cards?
- "that they actually live in the vicinity where they say they live." Is there a residence permit issued to citizens? Is there a residence identification sticker to present upon screening?

The screening by state and local government is the best approach to this exercise and is welcome development. Hmm I was going through Borno state list and saw 60% of those selected are iPod yout and they put Borno local governments as their place of residence. are they living in those local government? Screening by the state will prove that.All those that are complaining about the screening aren't actually living in the places they put as their place of residence. |

As much as I support the next step but ill planned I must admit, what becomes of those who fail? Does state government have the right to reject anybody? If they don't have the power to reject, then the test is of no purpose and not worth it. If in the end, the state government won't assist financially or otherwise despite volunteers are helping the state having successfully passed two tests, then the Aptitude test is not really worth it. |
