Name your dog Buhari in today’s Nigeria and you will be diligently prosecuted but commit genocide in Southern Kaduna and you won’t even be charged! Openly behead a female evangelist and your case may be dismissed even if you are charged, but criticise a governor, who himself criticises wildly, and be speedily charged to court. Accuse PDP politicians and security forces arrest them before investigation. Produce proof of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation’s alleged corruption and the same forces are suddenly paralysed. Welcome to President Buhari’s new and improved Nigeria. Under President Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria practices a dual legal system where the All Progressives Congress politicians are innocent until proven innocent. If you doubt me, then ask Rotimi Amaechi and Babachir Lawal who are attending Federal Executive Council to decide the fate of Nigeria while Femi Fani-Kayode and Olisa Metuh are in and out of court. Alas!

These shameless thieves (including the ones who front as 'pastor') who laid the foundation of the nation's current predicaments still have the guts to pick a pen and write nonsense about others..

woodcook:


By foundation did you mean:

That before they took over unemployement rate in Nigeria was 0 percent until Reno and co came?

Infrastructure was at par with that of the West before they came?

Or that for the first time in the history of Nigeria it was "them" that laid the foundation of power outage in our country?

Or that they destroyed our efficient security system and rendered our hospital useless and inefficient?

Or that they laid the foundation for the inefficiencies in the civil services and under funding of our education system?

Or are you refering to the foundation of inadequate availability of portable drinking water to over 40 percent of the population?

Please by foundation of our current problems can you state where things were when they took over and where it was when they left against where they are today. I am patiently waiting, thanks.

obailala:
When I said the "nation's current predicament", I meant the recession and hyper-inflation; every other thing you mentioned above are constant problems which have always existed (even though Reno craftily makes it sound like they actually started when his boss left).

The primary cause of the current recession is the nation's over dependence on one single volatile commodity for its income. For too long, Nigeria's economy has been directly proportional to oil prices; oil price goes up, the economy flourishes and vice versa. If only genuine attempts were made to diversify the economy in the past, or at least develop certain critical infrastructure (roads, standard rails, more seaports, power etc) which could aid quick diversification, then we wouldn't have found ourselves in the current predicament.

I was simply calling out Pastor Reno for his crafty hypocrisy as he keeps trying to act the saint by passing the entire blame of the mess we find ourselves today to the new admin. Meanwhile all the so called 'rosy' economic indices which he bragged about as achievements of his boss, can he be gracious enough to tell us the exact state of those indices just at the time his boss was about handing over?

woodcook:


If you think that the recession we are in now has nothing to do with the initial inactions and "trial and error"policies of the present government have nothing to do with the current economic situation then I think you are not being completely honest.

You can pull out the figures and display here we are all waiting and lets see how bad this present government have driven the economy into the gutter. I am patiently waiting.

On a side note: if I remember correctly during the campaign period APC listed out your position on the economy and promised to turn things around. If they knew things were not working and agreed to fix it, why on earth would you want to give them a pass now and not hold them accountable for their inefficiencies?

obailala:
Go back and re-read what I wrote, I never exonerated the present admin for their inability to turn things around, nowhere did I give them a pass.

With that issue settled, I would just reiterate my point which is that the nation, just like a rickety molue bus, was already accelerating into the recession as at the end of the last admin but fortunately for the last dude and unfortunately for the new guy, we got to the actual recession bus stop when the new admin had already taken the wheels. I wouldn't want to start pouring out the economic indices which prove my point but if you want them, I can make an exception and some hints.

It is only unfortunate that the present admin due to some actions and inactions since it took over was unable to at least step on the brakes and till now has not been able to turn the situation around as promised.

That being said, it is rather hypocritical and pointless for Pastor Reno to try to twist the narrative by exonerating himself and his principal from this mess while he passes all the blame to the successors.

I think it's a wrong postulation from you to state that the nation was already headed into recession before Buhari took charge. How can a nation whose economic indices were on a progressive growth during Gej be headed for recession. It grew to the point that it became the third fastest growing economy in the whole world.
Let's stop falling for the cheap propaganda APC and Buhari wants us to believe.
The truth is that every thing needed to reverse the economy of any thriving nation was experimented by Buhari on assumption of power. Some of these reverse gear policies and actions included:
1, Spending over 7 months to set up a ministerial team to drive the economy
2, Putting square pegs in round holes in the ministerial slots. None of the ministers were appointed in their areas of competence, this will lead to further loss of time to understand their sector and ofcourse, being novice in their sectors, they were at the mercy of the perm secs and DGs who were doing their 'deals" under the ministers' nose. A typical example was the budget padding.
3, Going to the international scene to label your country as criminals with only you as the saint will certainly scare away investors.
4, Outrighting banning of Forex to users and parallel markets automatically caused scarcity of forex which in turn caused the free fall of the naira against major currencies. That effect is responsible for 80 percent of the rising cost of goods and services today.
5, The division of the country on tribal lines with his unguarded comments. Since you and I agree that oil is still our sole source of income, there is a reason why previous govts treat the Niger delta, the goose that lays the golden egg with caution. You don't go to the foreign media to announce that the region that produce the wealth can not receive dividends of your govt because they voted their son and not you. In other words, you will take their wealth and develop your region and ignore them. The resultant effect was the bombing of pipelines which saw to the great decline of national income.
6, The sacrificing of merit on the altar of tribal bigotry. There are key offices and appointments you don't make based on tribal or any form of sentiment. Such offices are key but Buhari on assumption brought to fore his tribal bigotry. People who could have handled some key sectors were overlooked for 'brothers from the North's who had no experience in running dynamic systems like ours.

The list is endless. Buhari is purely responsible for the mess he has plunged this nation into.

He claims there was no money when he took over.
Obj received paltry USD 3bn from abdulsalaam yet we had no recession. He receives USD 30bn from Gej and he plunges the nation into recession.

He claims oil price fell at his tenure. Oil has been selling at an average of USD 55 per barrel. It sold for about USD 26 to USD 30 in yaradua and Gej respectively, yet we didn't enter recession.

At what point will it be clear to the likes of you that Buhari is solely responsible for our predicament

woodcook:


I partially agree with your position but saying that the economy was recession bound was incorrect. Nigeria officially went into recession under the present administration and still swimming in it without the prospect of coming out of it in the near future.

Have you considered that the dip you found in our economic indices at the aforementioned time might have been either temporarily or just normal economic fluctuations? The truth is that we can never if the last administration would have turned dip around and maintained the progress made but one thing that is certain is that the recent administration pluge the economic into the worse recession ever.
