Ibrahim1975:
. 50 Xterised by first bloody,enthnic,regional and hate coup carried out by Zoogerian and that marks the beginning of our problem.Civil war from the same Zoogerian. Zoogerian from Ugandan in Ugu Republic has held this country backward from independent till date. It has bn hates and evil and criminal actions from the zone till date. 50yrs 5 leaders from the South namely Azikiwe,Ironsi,Obj,Shonegan and Gej. How do they better Nigeria? What do we remember them 4 infrastructurally? The same 50yrs produced 8 leaders from the North. Namely: Belewa,Murtala,Gawon,Shagari,Buhari,IBB,Abdulsalam & Yar'adua. Who between the North and the South build Nigeria infrastructurally? 80% of infrastructure in the South are build by the Northern leaders.

Ibrahim1975:
. Imagine u a Zoogerian from Uganda Republic.

SLIDEwaxie:
as a lady, I expect u to refrain from arguments so as to remain beautiful.. And if u wld argue, thread a logical line.

First, buhari has completed the rail line that has been lingering for more than 10yrs.

Refineries (before your brother started blow up the pipes) have started working fine..

And now, buhari hasn't even completed a tenure... Why not wait?

Stelvin101:
Everyone keeps on complaining about President Buhari not doing well as expected. 2019 is fast approaching. There are two major political parties in Nigeria right now. APC and PDP. Name one prominent politician you have in mind you think is deem fit to rule this great nation and stir her towards greatness?

Let's all carry out this survey. As for me I don't even know one for now. The last presidential election I had to make a decision voted for President Buhari because I was caught inbetween Crocodile's grip (GEJ) and deep blue sea (PMB). So many Nigerians are similar victim just like me. NIGERIA IS NOT TIED TO APC AND PDP. LET'S THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX FOR ONCE

DabuIIIT:


u developed other ppl and all zha beggers everywhere are hausafulani!!! All the yandabas and talakawas and almajiris are igbos,ba? Ok,they are invicible,those dull aboki zoogerian presidents didnt see them

Over-ripe zombie

Ibrahim1975:
. The product of Zoogerian are now a course Nigeria and world at large where they are. All crimes on the earth are attributf to them. The govt.of Diaspora get them killed like Mosquitoes on daily bases. U dare not eat Meat in Zoogerian,u will end up eating human flesh. Is it incest,prostitution,rituals,rubbery,cultism, baby factory, human trafficking,drugs pushing, 419,fake drugs,fake men of (god),fake everything. Why! why! why!

Ibrahim1975:

DabuIIIT:


allau akbirrrrrr


Again,moi is a pure benin boy and u,u will just die for nothing over the blessed igbos..

Ibrahim1975:
. That is even the worst. A beg how many of ur Anties dey Italy? How much from the sells of family houses and farm land used in sponsoring them? Hope they have started bringing in proceed from ASHA......WO? I want to travel to the South, pls.help me clear ur friends on the road now.

LordAdam:


That thing you are taking is not good for your health.

OBJ, best president? Are you on your meds?

A man that said election is "do or die" is best president. Someone that silenced opposition brutally is best president.

The only valid thing OBJ did in 8 years was to cancel the debt (with the help of NOI) and increase our foreign reserve (with the help of Soludo).

1. And those things were done in his second term. Under OBJ, naira rose from N21/$1 in 2000 to $133 in 2004. That is a 600% increase. Even Buhari would not be able to perform so badly. How old are you?

Even Abacha that stole so much only had exchange rate fall from N17.30/$1 in 1993 to $21.89/$1 in 1998.

OBJ saved so much money because he was too stupid to find anything to use it for. He siphoned as much as he could and left the rest in the treasury. What was the impact of the high reserve on the life of Nigerians? What was the rate of FDI?

2. How many gas turbines did OBJ build? OBJ spent $15b on power, and he added less than 1000MW to the national grid. What else did OBJ do? GEJ spent less than $1b because he was privatizing power and added 1000MW. Who did it better?

3. Obasanjo pegged minimum wage at 7500 from 3500 (214% increase). GEJ increased minimum wage from 7500 to 18000 (240% increase). And GEJ did it better because after OBJ increased his rate, the purchasing power of the naira fell by over 600% during his tenure (1999 to 2007). GEJ increased his rate, and the purchasing power fell by only 12% (in 2011, highest rate was N165/$1, in 2015 highest official rate was N199/$1).

So, Obasanjo gave workers a trojan horse, GEJ gave workers an increase of true value. Why did Obasanjo not increase the rate after he knew that purchasing power of the naira had fallen?

4. Both OBJ and GEJ performed brilliantly in economic growth index. Unfortunately, while the economy was growing under OBJ, other indicators such as inflation rate were rising. Under GEJ, while the economy was growing, our inflation rate actually reduced. Who did it better then?

5. It's a clear win for OBJ in the foreign reserve. However, the question to ask is did the foreign reserve reflect on the economy? GEJ built 9 new federal universities, OBJ used Nigeria's money to build 1 new private university for himself. His vice, Atiku did the same thing. GEJ revamped the railway sector. OBJ left it neglected. GEJ revamped Agriculture by part-funding rice mills, fertilizer plants, OBJ was content with allowing us to continue importing food. GEJ added more kilometers of motorable roads and more length of power lines than OBJ. OBJ was busy fighting political opponents and doing owambe.

6. Did Tyranny make OBJ less corrupt than GEJ. If GEJ's government was as corrupt as OBJ's government, GEJ wouldn't have instituted the IPPPS and BVN that made it possible for ghost workers to be reduced. OBJ let ghost workers thrive. OBJ instituted EFCC and ICPC and used them as his lap dogs to fight political opponents.

7. GEJ had better appointments than OBJ. NOI is the common denominator. And Sanusi rivals the brilliance of Soludo. Should we talk about Adesina, or the minister of health that made Nigeria record less Ebola deaths than all other West African nations, or our minister of trade and investment.

8. What do you mean by best foreign policy? OBJ is a stooge of the West. He is a boy-boy to Washington. GEJ told Washington to shut it when we turned to Russia for arms to win the War against BH. He told Brussels to eat their a$$ when the EU-ECOWAS deal fell through. He sent a planes to evacuate 4000 Nigerians from Libya when the West starting bombing Libya to the smithereens. What about the Yellow Fever diplomatic saga with South Africa.

9. About currency flow, I will refer you to the first entry.

Don't talk sh*t. From 1999, Nigeria started having good presidents that were getting better with each new election. OBJ was better than all civilian presidents and military rulers before him. Yar'Adua would have been better than OBJ had he done his 8 years.

Only his 2 years in government and we were able to weather off the storm of the global economic crisis and oil price crash without significant hit to the economy. If OBJ or Buhari was in charge then, it would have been a disaster. GEJ took over and started charting a course of opening up and liberalizing the economy. It was a continuum and Nigeria was the gem of Africa. 3rd fastest growing economy in the world, #1 investment destination in Africa, largest economy in Africa, and 22nd largest economy in the world.

Until educated illiterates like yourself thought it best to reset all our gains and take us back to 1984.

GEJ was better than Yar'Adua and Yar'Adua was better than OBJ (going by the first two years of their tenures).

Nigeria wanted magic, and magic we now have.

We do not want to accept faults, and look at the progress we've made. 1999 to 2015 has been the best 16 years in Nigeria's history. Rather than see how we can consolidate the progress, we thought it best to throw everything away.

OBJ picked our economy and polity from the dirt. Yar'Adua gave us hope with his respect for rule of law. GEJ opened the economy up to the outside world, liberalized the polity with FOI bill, BVN, IPPPS; and enriched our democracy with the truly independent INEC and canceling out the do-or-die affair.

Every married person can attest that their partners are not angels. They have their faults that need changing and corrections. But what makes the relationship worthwhile are the plus points of the partners and the gains they bring.

Nigerians failed to grasp the positives, we only fixated on the negatives. Unreasonable people like you even called for tyranny, an anti-thesis to modern-day governance.

Well, here you have it. APC will destroy all we have gained in only 4 years. After that, they will continue because I'm yet to see the people that would be able to remove Buhari in 2019 or the INEC that would conduct conclusive, free-and-fair presidential elections.

SnowJay92:


Talk about the Igbo republicanism a bit more bro

lexyclasy:
Arch. Obong Victor Attah or Mr. Donald Duke or Chief Godswill Akpabio for President and Nuhu Ribadu, Sanusi and dankwambo as Vice president......Gbajambiamila, Chidera Chidoka or Ekweremadu as Senate president

Chiwude:
When we talk about Igbo republicanism in business, we talk about wealth distribution taking its route through things like the 'nwaboy' system, the 'nnewi model', the 'abriba mechanism' etc. Here individuals are encouraged to go into business either financed by themselves, family or relatives or by a system where a young boy serves a master for an agreeable number of years, then he get settled to starts his own business. We can also call it communal entrepreneurship or networking. In this sense, everyone's business growth is interconnected with a degree of help from another. Nobody is encouraged to remain eternally dependent on others for their survival, but to start something no matter how little with the hope of growing from there and expanding. In the long run, you have millions of entrepreneurs in Igboland and thousands of multi-millionaires profiting from many diversified businessess.

SnowJay92:


OK then.

jaz:
I voted for Pat Utomi once and I will do it again cos he has sound economic knowledge to move the nation forward and he has been an adviser to past governments on key national issues also he is not tainted with godfatherism or political greed.

I stand by him day or night

permanentgrace:
We have been relying on politicians all the while and disappointment, i mean greater disappointment has been our daily shocks as things get from bad to worse. Therefore, we do not need politicians as leaders in the hemp of affairs in the country again. Rather, what we need are economists and technocrats. These are the people who can take the country to an enviable height we all crave for. Economists/technocrats are the answers...not one stuppid fool called buhari who does not even know his right from the left to come rule Nigeria as president. Look at the turn out of events today. He has succeeded in taking us 50yrs backward. When the past governments were trying in thier bid to eradicate poverty, Buhari came and rather pushed/submerged us wholly into the lake of poverty...something we were trying dodge away from. A poor man needs N100 before he can buy a cup of rice now. The same poor man needs N250 before he can buy a litre of Kerosene. And of course we all know how far with the prices of all commodities in the market out there. It has never been this bad before. This is not the type of president we need in the country pls.

Safari29:


tell me how a technocrat will become president without first becoming a politician?

permanentgrace:


Ok now listen, Buhari, Tinubu, Fashola, OBJ, Jonathan, Ameachi, Saraki, Akpabio etc etc are all familiar faces we know as far as politics is concerned in the country. Now, these are people who have failed us times and times again. Therefore, we do not need them one minute in power again. It's either we as youth who constititutes quite appreciable percentage of the population in the country push and keep them aside by totally refusing to support any of them, then fill the party with young minds who are viable economists/technocrats or we form a new political party and ensure these old rogues are not allowed to be part of the party. These are few of the things we can do to produce technocrats come politicians in the country and take the country to a greater height. It's not impossible. We can do it.

xelly:


Accept the fact that Buhari wasted money. This is not the matter of APC/PDP , it is Nigeria first.

Ibrahim1975:
.Oga explain now? How would u tell me to accept, accept what? May be I shld also that 16 is greater than 19 (PDP).

Ibrahim1975:
.Oga explain now? How would u tell me to accept, accept why? May be I shld also that 16 is greater than 19 (PDP).

Ibrahim1975:
. "Train now" But not then. "Poverty" no body from the north poverty has let to commit sucide, drug trafficking, prostitution, selling of babies, rubbery, cultism, rituals, 419ners etc like the south. Education. We are educated b4 the origin of ur heroes. Colonial masters met the North as an educated and politically organised pple. Ur heroes were born, educated and empowered here in the North. Every successful Southerners are products of the North.
