GEJ has no credible agenda, he should be blamed if the country goes into recession.

However be the case, former World bank MD was appointed by OBJ to spearhead the ministry of finance, of which she has put the country in a standard for other African country to emulate from.

CBN Governor, Lamido Sanusi has infact done a tremendious job at strengthening the Naira (₦) against US Dollar ($).

I am not particularly a 'friend' to da so called Billyonaire, but I must agree with you both. This year seems to be a good year not only for me but many business owners that I know. I do not know the direct economic details or why it is so, all I know is that things are going well. One just needs a decent capital, good thinking, and you're good to go. There are so many opportunities untapped. Just sit down and think, get information online, cos I must tell you, Information indeed is POWER! The future looks great!

If i were him, with the kinda resources in his hands, i will do better, and if i dont have the resources to make something happen, i will not be too proud to be real with the people and just ask for the resources that is needed . . . the fact remain one thing that to be the leader, these are part of the challenges he must face and how you handle it will define the kinda leader he is and so far, tell me what he has achieved.
If he cant fix it, he might as well vacate for those that MIGHT be able to.
Even a pope recognize he no more has what it takes to lead and step down.

You don't seem to realise how extremely difficult it is to manage Nigerians, in a Nigeria where most people just ignore the law with impunity. Add to this tribal, regional and religious bias and the problem worsens. Remember that the law is enforced and people are governed by CONSENT. In such a situation, the only option will be to use brute force (which is what our security agencies tend to do) and govern with terror.

Take nairaland for example, see how difficult it is to moderate certain sections.

It is not hard to detect those who like to hate for no reason. In a thread that is talking about the tremendous improvements in the overall economy of the country and the prospects of better days to come, you are saying GEJ should be blamed if the country goes into recession? Are you making sense? And what if it doesn't? Buhari should be praised ba?
And I didn't know it was OBJ that gave Iweala her present job o... ehnnnn? Tell me more? Blind fellow. I guess he's the one who appointed SLS too.

all4naija: Your opinion was very clear and that people responded to accordingly only to your own infuriation. You weren't going about questioning the information ethically but asserted it's nonsensical pointing to the Nigerian Ministry of Information. Let me re-quote your first comment below for you to see what I am talking, my dear!

What an excuse with the paranoid statement!



Look here I stand on my statement as long as there is not direct source to the businessday article. Your fellows who as per you " responded accordingly" by hailing insults like people with rabies, they do not phase me. I feel sotrry for their frustrations and if my speaking my mind it turns their insides out clearly they are more affected than I would ever be becouse of their insults.

It's time to grow up, while NL still allows others countries to join Nl I will air my opinion whether it erks you or not. As long as I am not insulting anyone. Politics mean all countries are subjected to scrutiny by members of the whole world. Leave with it as Nigeria is part of that world.

From the tone of your writings, it seems like the President have a clue who are doing all these, so what stops him from rounding them up, he has mapped a plan and yet his employees are not making it happen and such people still resume to office day after day and yet the leader is looking and hoping, then, he is not fit.
guy goverment is not what you are thinking. As a politician you have to have a game plan and not just rush into things. Dont u know there is a way that GEJ will attack them and they will plot his death that is why he is trying to use the divide and rule method which they use against the SW AND SE. By creating division among them with that he can have control over them just has they have done to the SW and SE. They put a conflict between the sw and se and where looting the country dry.

POLITICS IS A GAME. And GEJ TEND TO BE PLAYING HIS SLOW AND STEADY.

taharqa: When some of us were saying these same stuff here, some GOONS here would be spitting Thrash- the ONLY thing they know how to do.

I have ALWAYS asked on this forum what area has deteriorated since GEJ took over (apart from Security, perhaps- which is unfortunate by the way). Every index indicate some level of PROGRESS on all other ares/sectors- Rails, Power, Roads, Cost of Governance, Elections, Inland ports, Transparency in Government, Airports, Seaports, Education etc etc; some of these areas may admittedly not be fast enough (like Education) and we CERTAINLY have not even gotten close to where we ought to be as a nation in each of these areas- afterall, an Admin CANNOT be expected to clear the INCREDIBLE MESS which have been ACCUMULATING for some Decades and which it met, in less than 3 years; BUT the point is that PROGRESS is clearly been made in MOST of these areas.

- Nigeria is presently undertaking what have been described as the 'largest Privatization and Reforms in the Power Sector in the world', a relatively Transparent process that is in its concluding stages; as well as building almost 500 Power related projects (in Generation, Transmission, Distribution) SIMULTANEOUSLY, as well as the associated Gas infrastructure;

- In less than 3 years, Nigeria is Resuscitating 3000kms of its old Railways system (Lagos-Kano, PH-Maiduguri and their may associated Spur Lines) which had been deteriorating since the 1980s and which was virtually DEAD for about 10-15 years, as well as building new Standard Lines in pats of the country (by both the FG and some State Govts like Lagos);

- Nigeria is almost SIMULTANEOUSLY Remodeling/Reconstructing its entire Decrepit Domestic Airports, building new Cargo terminals and on the verge of building 5 new Standard International Terminals; just as it is significantly upgrading Airport Related facilities, especially in terms of safety (Total Radar Cover, VHF Communication Systems, Dopplar Weather Systems, Alternative Power Supply System etc);

- Nigeria is fixing its key FEDERAL Roads at a pace not seen in years, with significant improvements already felt on some of these key roads;

- Nigeria is improving Services in Older Seaports as Private Concessioning of the ports deepen and the Time to Clear Goods in those ports (and hence Demorrage Costs) significantly reduces; just as 4 Inland Water ports are SIMULTANEOUSLY been built in the country, etc etc.

Investors know of some of these Infrastructure upgrades and many more (some of them ongoing); they know of the improved FISCAL environment been midwifed by people like Okonjo-Iweala, Sanusi and Aganga as they article also indicates. They know of the opportunities cropping up in the Agriculture sector cos of the REVOLUTION in that sector been midwifed by another Reformist, current Agric Minister (and personally, the best in the Cabinet) Dr Adesina, and many other areas opening up like Power, COnsumer Goods Industry, Manufacturing, Mining etc. In fact, they know that Nigeria's Infrastructural inadequacies are avenues for massive investments and profits, coupled with the large and Dynamic population of Nigeria- an investor, esp in Africa, would be 'Mad' not to seriously look towards Nigeria.

Those ENEMIES OF NIGERIA who have chosen to make the Govt of GEJ 'ungovernable' Or create that IMPRESSION, whether through Boko Haram Bombings or through a Shameless and unimaginable Media PROPAGANDA, are FAILING and would continue to FAIL.

God bless the President and his team; and God bless this our GREAT country, NIGERIA. May it continue to SOAR HIGHER, and fulfill that GREAT Potential it always was, in our Life time. AMEN.

No doubt, Nigeria will overtake South Africa on or before 2017, but lets not fool ourselves.

The Nigerian govt (top officials) will never be poor because they know how to collect money, but not how to share it for the people which its meant for. Forget this stupid report, lets ask the normal man on the street if his pocket is feeling this so-called "progress".
