How would any person have any idea what the government spends on anything? There is no accountability to the public. I could believe about anything that is said about officials in Nigeria. They have no regard for the people that support them. They rip people off and treat the voters like s*h*i*t. If everyone in the country starved to death, they would see how to quickly they could get rid of the stink, so it didn't mess up their outings.

taharqa: Some people are so STUPI.D, just Plain STU.PID.

How can anybody read this Article, esp the part that says: 'Nigeria spent #4.7bn to import FOOTWEARS, HEADWEARS and UMBRELLAS', and believe it to mean that the Govt imported #4.7bn worth of Umbrellas, for ffuck's sake? So the traders who imported these Goods from China and Co work for the Govt??

JEEZ!!! Some Chaps can be so incredibly DENSE. God Forbid!

This is exactly why it is so easy for APC to brainwash supposedly educated folks, most times I read their comments and don't even know where to start from

It was said in the article that "Nigeria" spent N4.7 billion to import umbrellas and headgear. No where was the FG mentioned. Probably you have to read the article a second time to get the message.

This thread is a sign that the political opposition is populated by a herd of synchronously bleating buffoons. Most of the comments by members of the opposition here betrays their lack of thoughtfulness and their senseless dogmatism.
In as much as I dislike this present dispensation, I am more wary of the alternative because propanganda and hypocrisy seems to be their tools of trade. Even people whose posts I respect on Nairaland have also jumped on the bandwagon, commenting senselessly with prejudice.

Nigeria's EXTERNAL trade news report suddenly translates to FG imports umbrella.
Sometimes you wonder if people went to night schools where they used lanterns and candles to teach them.
Meanwhile no one saw this part, I guess:



No wonder Tinubu & co were just cleaning us up like crazy (and still continue to do) selling us mumu-cious propaganda & outright LIES that is empty!!!

yokanu:

Jonathans destiny is to bankrupt Nigeria

I think so too. He started the bankrupcy as an acting president after Yaradua's death spending N10billion on Oct.1st for a one day event.

That was what made me make a U-turn on the support for his presidency after initially parading myself on the street on his behalf to be allowed take charge of leadership while Yaradua was sick.

Its either Nigerians have short memory or they are just plain stupid; something I believe is a ripple effect of too much Africa Magic.

You are what you see overtime when you consume too much contents produced with the lowest level of mediocrity; it shapes your life and reasoning subconsciously.

one begins to wonder whether some people here are properly educated. The report dealt with the over all economic performance sector by sector giving figures. It further stated that Footwears, headgears and umbrellas worth 4.7 billion naira was imported. Did it say it is Fed Govt that imported them ? Does Fed govt sell footwears and headgears and umbrellas? It is sad that you people are never objective and mature in your criticism of the president and that is why no sane person take you people serious. Criticism ought to be forward looking, progressive, done in good faith and not blind and bitter.

Ok you have been heard, but who is the President of the nation that imported such huge amount of Umberellas? Everything rises and falls on leadership and that is what you blinded Jolatan supporters don't want to hear. We remember how OBJ regulated the import of rice then; a detailed leader pays attention to his responsibilities.

I use to oppose GEJ in most of my discussions,but seeing the massive loads of distraction and overwhelming lies from the opposition.I began to pity him,it's hard working on such environment and yet he is still trying his best(though i'v not been opportuned in this his government).I know he has the masses at heart and we just need a little patient with him.....sorry for my typo errors.

Mr man wake up your ideas and stop being sentimental. This is a forum; every news reported here is expected to have a link. This post has a link from one of Nigeria's best seling newspaper. NL DOES NOT POST the news, nairalanders like u does. OP only posted what was written exactly on the link..click and see for ursef. If it were a good report from the FG u will not be here making all this noise even if the news is true or false. FG is always referred to most times as NIGERIA. If FG signs any pact with any other goverment or company..the title is always 'NIGERIA' does this or that. If the report is misleading, its the editors @ tribune news paper u face not the OP or the MODs. Thank you!

In other words, there is a market in Nigeria for umbrellas and head gears. Investors should invest. Period

All these can be produced in Nigeria. If this report is true, then this is another proof to tell you that the current crop of leaders are incompetent. Why are they taking jobs away from Nigerians and enriching foreigners? This table will surely turn one day

anonimi: In fact the FAVOURABLE balance of trade is a big plus for Jonathan's administration correcting the rot of so many decades by clueless MILITARY coupists who did nothing to move our economy forward.
Kudos to GEJ again for THOUGHTFUL policies that are now yielding results!!!
i guess you missed this sentence

"According to the analysis, imports increased by 13.5 per cent, while exports decreased by 34.1 per cent year on year."

how dos any sensible person applaud policies that reduce exports by a whooping 34.1% in a single year while imports in that same year increased by 13.5%?you are either deliberately myopic or going senile

in as much as i disdain the falsehood been propagated by the misleading topic of this thread,it will be important for us not to divert from the crux of the report/article.you guys seem to be more interested in the fact that there is a "balance of trade" and totally disinterested in the most important sentence in the entire report

"According to the analysis, imports increased by 13.5 per cent, while exports decreased by 34.1 per cent year on year."

that sentence is a gross indictment of whatever policies ebele has put in place in the past 3years. the decrease in exports is enormous while import has also increased.this simply shows that all attempt to translate our economy from an importing one to an exporting one havent only failed,they have made the situation worse.it doesnt matter if trade is balanced,it doesnt even matter how balanced it is,whats most important is for the economy to grow and it will never grow if policies dont favour exports
