Please talk to any old member of Manufacturers Association of Nigeria MAN. They were working very closely withngivernments. I actually saw import licenses and Form Ms and clear categorization of importation into spare parts, manufacturing equipment and raw materials.

All these were for a short time to get local manufacturing installed for all consumer goods.

atlwireles:


, KEEP THAT FOR YOUR ALAMJIRI MAJOR GENERAL.

MalcoImX:
Oh, oh, sorry. I forgot you can't understand elementary economics if oil is not involved. It was for a reason they call you "The Headmaster of Nigerian Oil Wells." I would rather be an Almajiri Major General than a Ph.D that avoids debates.

jdilight:


The scarcity was not caused by shagari but by the government that did not empower the people to be productive but look up to the government for daily needs.
If the manufacturers of those goods were in Nigeria would the goods be hauded?
Almost all the goods were imported. What did the government the do in form of policy to attract investors?

atlwireles:


Your no primary six certificate alamjiri general, should present his certificate, than we talk about his debate skills. Headmaster of oil?I thought your 419 alamjiri general is the "almighty" with powers to stabilise the world oil prices.

MalcoImX:
Even though you live in the ND and see oil being produced everyday, you cannot in any way be more knowledgeable about the world oil market than a former Minister of Petroleum Resources. Or do you want his pictures attending OPEC meetings.

jdilight:


Why Africa is backward is because we don't have good policy not because we are not doing the right thing. The government then did not want progress that is while they did not back their action with good policy.

Let me ask you, if the president did not sign the freedom of information bill, will Nigerian know this much about government? Will we be criticising government at will?

This is good government policy.

They didn't give it to us because they no the disadvantage on them.

This is the problem with Jonathan and his supporters. The context were different. This was a military regime, we squandered our freedom during the civilian regime of Buhari through corruption and election rigging.

Very rich people owned newspapers and were controlling discourse. Please tell me what is freedom of information when Abiola, Aboderin and Awolowo' family owned the major newspapers. What is freedom in that. First of all it means the whole country was under information dictatorship from rich Yoruba businessmen. I am Yoruba and I know what I am talking about. So it is a little amateurish to talk of FOI under military regimes and even more to PRAISE Jonathan for what is just accepting global best practices. Almost all African countries have FOI now and they can't help it any way in th internet and social media age you don't get a prize for doing FOI.

Buhari never nationalised newspapers which was what some countries with military dictatorships did. Also the number of articles criticizing governments were very many and nobody was letter bombed as happened during the time of IBB whose coup address speech formed the basis of Jonathan's campaign today at Enugu

atlwireles:


Tell your almajiri, certificate forger, 419 major general to put his credentials on the table, then we can discuss his knowledge of anything.

NavierStokes:
Please do you understand what a free market economy is? Its policies like the one you are advocating that Maduro the former bus "conductor" is busy implementing in Venezuela, that is running down that economy.
This is the 21st century and running an economy is way more complex than mere use of common sense alone. Tell ur oga to show his certificate then we can give on from there to his plans of stabilizing the oil price etc.

MalcoImX:

Whatever qualifications that enable Aguiyi Ironsi, Yakubu Gowon, Murtala Mohammed, Olusegun Obasanjo, Ibrahim Babangida, Sani Abacha and Abdulsalam Abubakar to rule Nigeria as Heads of State General Buhari has.

jdilight:


When l talk of FOI l was trying to let you see how policy work. But you chose to see what you wanted and to pull me to follow your track.

Which policy did buhari institute?
Eopl
Do you know what the size of our economy would have been if he formed a policy that encouraged the textile industry?

Ngwakwe:



How old are you? Can you tell us the situational report then in your locality? How was life and economic activities in your area as at then?

Buhari's regime was a ticking time bomb waiting to explode in Eastern Nigeria that depended on trade and commerce while Industries in Aba were suffocated by ragtag economic policies of the unwired general

Let any professor come here to disprove my narrative on how we enjoyed Buharinomics

Buhari sent his Karki boys to invade retail shops in Aba to sell "daily need items" from private shops at a price they deemed justified.

The truth is that he never invaded nor negotiated with companies and suppliers to force controlled prices rather they used koboko on poor retailers thereby forcing most Stores to sell at night or through back doors.

As a result of the threats from the karki boys most shops ran out of supplies or refused to restock for fear of Soldiers who lacked simple knowledge of economics.

The result was scarcity upon scarcity.

We really suffered.

MalcoImX:

Whatever qualifications that enable Aguiyi Ironsi, Yakubu Gowon, Murtala Mohammed, Olusegun Obasanjo, Ibrahim Babangida, Sani Abacha and Abdulsalam Abubakar to rule Nigeria as Heads of State, General Buhari too has.

atlwireles:


In the year of the lord 2015.Your almajiri 419 major general is the soul running to become President of Nigeria. He is the only person I care about today.

MalcoImX:

John 20:24-25

24: Now Thomas, one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came.
25: So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
|
In the year of the lord 2015, 'wireless like Thomas of old is asking me whether a General of the Nigerian Army and a war veteran has a School Cert.' I am saving you the sweat; he has, but don't ask me the grave of his Principal - I don't know.
'member the Chibok girls: You guys were asking for pictures of the girls, their ages, the school buildings, the principal, their parents, and their religion until the the Americans arrived at your doors.

atlwireles:


all this story for a primary six certificate

MalcoImX:
Yes, all these for your treasonable and unpatriotic conjectures. If not Nigeria has spoiled finish, how would a 'bloody' civilian be asking old soldier and a war veteran all these mundane questions. Ask Namadi Sambo to bring his first. Or is it because he's in PDP?

atlwireles:


Tell your almajiris 419er major general to present his primary six certificate. The father of all corruption.

MalcoImX:
Tell Namadi Sambo to bring his first. When Biafra annexed you, is it not the Almajiri you called to save you. Look at this ungrateful ND man.

atlwireles:


Stop crying and ask your almajiri, 419er, unqualified, fraudulent major general to present his certificate.

atlwireles:


Where is your almajiri fraudulent major general primary six certificate?

dunkem21:
Oh, thank God for this thread. Many of your people argued that Jonathan lied.
You don go dabble into oil price sliding to $35 a barrel, come dey shout for help from barcanista. We go beat you here today because barcanista travelled.

We have showed his achievements in the other thread and you ran out here to say they are mediocre achievements.

Now, why will people queue to buy milk, sugar ..Is that fighting corruption/indiscipline?
Is queuing an achievement?

Sell your candidate. The only thing Buhari has told us is that he will give food to school children.

I laugh in Lunch box.

Edited.
OP, You are lucky today, help came from above ^^

ogb5:
OP you are insulting those of us who went through the horror of the Buhari evil regime in 1984 to 1985.

It is evil to want to re-write history just to sell a dummy politician.

No one in any country of the world like to spend days in queue trying to buy bread to feed his family. today the Syrians are queuing to buy bread due to the war in Syria, some are bombed while on the queue, It will be criminal to claim that the Syrians queuing for bread today like it.

Under Buhari not only did people queue for bread, we queued for cooking oil, we queued for washing soap, we queued for salt. many people collapsed and died from exhaustion in the queues. And this was a time when Nigeria was not at war.

And to worsen things soldiers were flogging people mercilessly on the queues, who likes to be flogged? why do you think Fela called Buhari a craze man in animal skin?

Your claim that profiteering was reduced shows your lack of understanding of economics, just like buhari, people go into business to make profit.
Using the military to break the locks of peoples shops and auctioning private goods at less than the cost price was not only wrong, it was evil. At the end of the day shops like Kingsway, Bata, Leventis have to close shop. People like you go to malls today to gloss around, the same malls Buhari killed by auctioning away their goods and rendering bankrupt in 1984.

Children who did not suffer through the economic stupidity of Buhari in 1984 and 1985 can vote for him, but people like us who saw the effects of his stupidity leading to scarcity of simple things like bread, sugar, oil, salt and soap and the closing of many factories will never vote for Buhari to come and repeat his economic stupidity.

donmalcolm21:
. May God never allow me to queue in order to eat. Am I in Somalia. Please take this Buhari and his economic bullshit away from here.

Ngwakwe:


You are just like the Chairman, House Committee on Finance, Abdulmumin Jibrin, who has no real life working experience.

You have no slightest knowledge of the suicidal government you intend to defend except through googling and search engines.

OrlandoOwoh:

By not being able to add value to his life in three decades I believe you meant not being able to have choice houses and business gotten from stolen funds like other retired generals. SMH.

omenka:
Came to a mechanic workshop to fix my brakes and do general servicing. I feel so happy seeing how involved and informed most hitherto indifferent Nigerians have become. These artisans are indeed gonna make their voices heard in the forthcoming elections.

Very interesting what a couple of guys (presumably working in the NASS under the office of the senate president) are saying regarding Jonathan's speech yesterday!!

Honestly, it would take the combined goodwill and support of "Witches and Wizards" the world over (not just Nigeria's) for Jonathan to win fair and square a single zone in this country!

This is good!!!

atlwireles:
How people attempt to rewrite history. Buhari was bad news in 1984 and he remains bad news today.
