MrPOTUS:



Instead of holding your stupid leaders accountable, you pray.

That's what you mórons do.

I swear. When I hear people say let's pray for our leader to be successful, I feel like running away from such people. That statement alone mean hopelessness and lack of power to of people on the government. These same set of people that dish out hopeless prayers will never come out to vote during election.

Nope. It has always been there.

How do you think we got to the civil war? Bigotry.

And both sides are.giulty. I blame apc but I also remember your side calling tinubu and buhari unprintable names too. And then there is the Fulani abuse too

And their side? Igbos are this , igbos are evil , igbos should jump in lagoon.

It's always been there. The internet just makes it worse

Before Tinubu and Buhari were there this level of insults? The same BAT and Buhari that insulted the hell out of GEJ? Tell me who insulted Obj and Yar Adua? Let’s start from 1999.

Are you talking about the same guy who crippled Ribadu and EFCC to protect his campaign bankroller, Ibori, after the Obasanjo Iwuruwuru INEC election that made him president?

The same guy who got us into the P&I mess among other corrupt deals, involving himself, Turai and their cabal?

The one who cluelessly reduced fuel price when oil price was rising and incurred so much of subsidies that Jonathan AND the 36 governors agreed to scrap it before Fayemi and his fellow progreThieves decided to play politics with our economic destiny?

That same guy or someone else

Truly we have short memories hence why we are so easily manipulated and screwed up by leaders in the political, social, economic, religious etc realms. So easily!

Omooba77:
…says Nigeria experienced economic development during Jonathan’s administration

A former Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, on Tuesday, said the protest that trailed the fuel subsidy removal during the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan in 2012 was due to political interests.

Fayemi said this in his keynote address delivered at a national dialogue organised to celebrate the 60th birthday celebration of the founding National Secretary of Alliance for Democracy and Fellow, Abuja School of Social and Political Thought, Professor Udenta Udenta in Abuja.

The programme was attended by Jonathan, former Minister of Education, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili; former Minister of Aviation, Osita Chidoka, among others.

The PUNCH reports that on January 1, 2012, President Goodluck announced the removal of fuel subsidy and adjusted the pump price of petrol from N65 per litre to N141.

The decision sparked mass protests, tagged ‘Occupy Nigeria’ across major cities of the country.

The price was later re-adjusted to N97, after more than a week of protests.

Petrol price was later reduced to N87 in 2015.

Jonathan faced serious backlash for the fuel price adjustment, especially from leaders of the All Progressives Congress, who were then in different opposition parties, including the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, Congress for Progressives Congress, All Nigeria Peoples Party, and All Progressive Grand Alliance.

Obj was the real don to have accomplished the level of economic development and social welfare he did.

He was also detribalised. GEJ and Yardua simply rode on the tail wind of economic stability and reforms he started. Credit to them for at least steadying the ship.

With APC, it became clear that even a leader keeping the status quo is a big deal

GloriousGbola:


yardua reversed the sale of the refineries
yarduas policies chased virgin nigeria out
yardua killed efcc by sacking ribadu and appointing waziri

it is only the young and naive who will swallow this

several issues today are downstream of his decisions

See this ill and poorly informed:YarAdua started electoral reforms that culminated in the little improvement GEJ further consolidated,YarAdua stopped the Virgin deal because it wasn't beneficial to Nigeria.
He reversed the sale of the refineries because he clearly saw they were to cronies that would have crippled the sector or sold to third parties that could do the job,while they reaped massive profits just by selling.
It's the same issue happening with the power sector now,the Gencos and Dencos sold to political associates have neither added nor improved electricity distribution by a single kWh,they all saw it as a place where they could reap massive profits without being ready or having the funds to invest.
As a Northerner he nonetheless conceived the amnesty program,he reversed the kerosene subsidy removal because he knew the deleterious effect.
YarAdua wasn't a "socialist" as someone claimed,he was rather a pragmatist or social capitalist,the kind of economic model practiced by European and other developed Nations.
It's only the US that practices a pure capitalist economy,every other developed world practices some form of social capitalism.
He replaced Ribadu not for any other reason but the feeling that someone else could do better.If he had lived and seen that Waziri wasn't doing well he would have removed her.
This is the only president that lived up to the billing of being non corrupt in act and deed,declared his assets and those of his family,Openly and was ready to act on any corrupt case,no matter the person involved.
Remember during his time SM wasn't in vogue,so if he had come in this era when SM was is a large part of the world,I bet he would have acted on many of the ills being pointed out in officials and appointees of his.
The drawback YarAdua had was that his health was failing him,so he couldn't scrutinize what his family members and close associates were doing that was tarnishing everything he stood for.
For donkey years Buhari had been shouting on how corruption was our Achilles heel and how he was going to confront it,heads on.
When he gained power and was supposed to lay the simplest and basic of all foundations,declaring his asset publicly,he shirked from it.
Nobody was interested in the asset of YarAdua during his time,but without prompting he declared the entire family assets and forced GEJ to do same.
Forget,YarAdua 8 years would have transformed nigeria

Giving amnesty to militants is an act of failure and an admission that Nigeria is a failed state. Today the Militants now control the oil wells. It was under his government that the leader of Boko Haram was killed.

Yes Nigeria would have been much more better, we can all see Katsina that he served as governor much more better today with banditry everywhere. Obasanjo just looked for a weakling he can control to handover the country to. Yar'Adua made people like Ìbòrí to escape justice in Nigeria

God1000:

Today is exactly 14 years since the death of President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua.
Born on August 16, 1951, he died on May 5, 2010 at the age of 59. He would have been 73 now if he were alive.

He was declared the winner of the election held on 21st April, 2007, and served as president for three years.

Based on subsidised life that are of no relevance and not sustainable in the long term which haunts us now.

This man really tried for naija

achorladey:


Based on subsidised life that are of no relevance and not sustainable in the long term which haunts us now.

The brain challenged one that said "subsidy is gone",one year on,show what that policy has benefitted the country.With removal of subsidy at least there should have been massive investment in the sector and fuel queues would have been a distant memory.But here we are.
It's not by shouting and taking populist decisions that makes you a leader,is looking at all the factors involved and knowing the best way forward.
Nigeria will NEVER recover from that ill fated,psychotic policy done at same time naira was floated.
There is no other way than for government to do what it's about to do,stupidly increase salaries of public civil servants and hope the private sector,now in intensive care,can magically follow to some degree.
But how can the business man or woman in that sector increase wages when their cost of production has shot up through the roof?

EreluRoz:
The present problem Nigeria is facing started from when Jonathan lost his reelection, they did a lot of damages you can ever imagined before leaving office as part of their revenge, Buhari came and couldn't fix it but added to it and here we are today.

all this looking backwards dey vex me let’s move forward joor

Compare his years in power to any past or present elected president in Nigeria.

Can the Yoruba people write and swear on Tinubu like this?

They lambasted Fred Ajuduah and Ned on a thread... yet embrace Tinubu that has done more than this saints..

Yoruba supporting Yoruba is what’s is keeping present Nigeria ..where it is

Calling a spade a spade is now a taboo.. and whoever does that is tag igbo and obidient

Nigeria must be great.

Weda lovers of tribalism loves it or not

Rest on sir..

Your legacy remain pure and direct

God bless Arewa Izon and the good people of Nigeria

Las las na on top of Yoruba matter people like you go die! Was it only Yoruba that voted Tinubu? A lot of Yorubas even voted Obi. So all the military regime that destroyed Nigeria was caused by Yoruba? Is Obasanjo that did a bit for Nigeria not Yoruba? Everything Yoruba Yoruba Yoruba...una dey mad? How old are you?
Is Igbo not supporting Igbo? Nonsense!

Forget,YarAdua 8 years would have transformed nigeria

you know nothing

dangote, oando, otedola were the bidders for the refineries

all of them have been in energy for the past 20 years

dangote now has his own refienry

thanks to the reversal you are celebrating billions were sunk into the refineries for years in dubious turn around maintenance executed by emeka offors chrome oil . it was not until buhari came in that a proper firm was engaged to turn around a refinery that should have been in private hands decades ago

Kaduna refinery has been running at billion naira losses for years. a literal money sink hole

that is yarduas legacy

nuhu ribadu was sacked by yardua. farida waziri was put in his place. that was the beginning of the end for efcc. ibori gave ribadu 15 million dollars in cash. ribadu immediately reported this and handed in the money. with a head like that EFCC would have been unstoppable. today they are just another incompetent bribe taking arm of the police

obj made concessions to virgin nigeria. yardua reversed these concessions and virgin nigeria pulled out leaving air nigeria. foreign investors saw all these. maybe if obj had liberalized the telecommutes sector at the end of his second term, this is how yardua would have fked that up as well

all yardua was know for was saving money - not investing it

and the biggest indictment of yardua - the people around him who if not stopped would have run nigeria while the man was a brain dead corpse. from his wife down

The only Nigerian president Missed

But you have his brother in the senate ,doing on your mandate ,wearing tinubus secret cult cap more than tinubu himself .

you would have said the same nonsense if buhari was not president. please allow yaradua rest in peace

The same man they used to abuse and call Baba go slow.

If Obasanjo had died, he would have been celebrated as the greatest Nigerian leader ever

happney65:
He was a good Man but a socialist. He wasn't a capitalist as such.

He reversed the sale of the refineries already set in place by Obasanjo and some others. If he had gone through with the sales of the refineries we would have been better than now.

Obasanjo just wanted a straight forward person who wasnt interested in stealing and was comfortable with what he had and he got it in yaradua.

He wanted to go back to his lecturing job after being Govornor of Katsina twice before Obasanjo dragged him back into politics.

OBJ knew him very very well. Younger brother of his former VP,The Late Shehu Yaradua who was VP to Obasanjo when Obasanjo was Military President in 76.

nonsense

One of the best gift to this nation but was short lived.

You don't know anything. The people who know really know. He would have been the best EVER!!! I'm Yoruba, a realistic one at that, so you wouldn't think I'm being tribalistic. That man was our angel but death took him. The few months he was there was a period of recovery until his death. His successor had the will but there were too many powerful people around him. I pray we are not doomed in this country cos the best didn't even last.

ZombieTAMER:


we can all agree that Buhari was the worst,

But some low lives supported and voted him twice

What exactly was the support for?..

To continue raping the country for eight years

These villains are wicked i swear

buhari is the angel that would make nigeria dubai if he was not president

Odin13:

Na foolishness dey worry because I didn't mention Igbos here in any negative way. I even said lots of Yorubas voted Obi.
In the last election did Igbos not voted for Igbo? Is that not a fact? But because Yorubas voted Yoruba they are now the problem. Tell me how many Igbos that voted Yoruba.
Most of you are too lazy and lack mental capacity to think if not you won't be saying Yoruba people are the cause of Nigerian problems.
From the way you are commenting I can bet with my life that you are probably around 25 years or less, you don't even know Yaradua talkless of Obasanjo.
