THE NIGERIAN STATE : CAUGHT IN THE TRAPS OF FAILED LEADERSHIPS.

History Being Repeated?

In 1983:
.
$1 = N 1
£1 = N2
Volkswagen Beetle = N1,400
Foods were in abundance
Kids were in school Businesses were booming with vibrant economy and people were gainfully employed.
No illegal arrest or media trial.
Rule of law was maintained.
.
On 31 December, 1983, he and his criminal gang struck with the excuse of tackling widespread corruption and within few months,
.
$1 = N15
£1 = N40
Volkswagen Beetle = N8, 000
Kids dropped out of school because their
parents couldn't afford their school fees
anymore. Businesses closed down.
Foods were rationed as people queued up
for essential commodities.
Many Nigerians lost their jobs because the
economy collapsed.
Innocent Nigerians were arrested for free
speech and human rights violated with
impunity. The Constitution was suspended.
.
He blamed Alh. Shagari's govt for this mess. He blamed corruption, yet he jailed Dr. Alex Ekwueme (the Vice President) but left
Shagari (the president) in his palace.
.
But when another gang threw him out, and within few months, Nigerians started
smiling again. Our kids returned to school, food was in abundance again, Nigerians got their jobs back and the economy was revived etc.

In 2015:
.
$1 = N175-190
£1 = N289-320
Cars were affordable with local
manufacturers smiling to the bank.
Food was in abundance (at least a bag of
rice was N7, 000)
Kids were in school
Businesses were booming with vibrant
economy, no illegal arrest or media trial.
.
On 29 May, 2015 when he was 'jega-ed' into power:
.
$1 = N315-510
£1 = N550-610
Local car manufactures shut down their
plants due to harsh economic condition.
Famine was unleashed on Nigerians and a
bag of rice rose to N22, 000/27, 000 while
minimum wage remains N18, 000.
Kids dropped out of school.
Businesses closed down, millions lost their jobs and inflation is in double digits.

Just like in 1985, he's blaming corruption
and his predecessor for the same mess he
created within few months of assumption
of office.

YOU CANNOT PUT A CROWN ON A CLOWN AND EXPECT A KING."
