That's what we'll hear but we won't hear what they used the money for. Lemme just advice PMB on how to spend the money.$2.3billion = 460billion naira(using 200=$1 as conversion rate). And we have like 150million Nigerians so if we divide this money among EVERYBODY each person will have #3066.66. The FG can give #3000 to each person and keep the remaining #66.66, they'll still have #9,999,000,000 and that is almost #10billion. They can use that for whatever way they think poverty will be alleviated.

You Northerners and begging. May the almighty deliver you from the spirit of begging and collecting 'aid' from the people who have ripped you off and helped in impoverishing you. What happened to seeking for technological transfer, infrastructure and industrial development? You want food aid abi? Lobbish!

You seem to know a lot about it since you have very strong opinions and so it should be no problem for you to back up your arguments time-efficiently.

Really? So the Marshall plan didn't help Germany develop and didn't lead to an economical boom?
Japan did not experience an economic miracle partly due to the aid assistance of the USA after WW II?

Now on a more personal level, there are no children who can go to school and receive vaccinations essential for survival thanks to people like Bill and Melinda Gates?

Oprah Winfrey has not provided educations to plenty of young girls in South Africa and smoothed their way to a brighter future by means of education, which cost her LOTS OF MONEY?

Thank you so much for the examples you gave.
The emphasis is on education and reward for WORK done or VALUE created and not the dash dash almajiri system that Buhari has done ALL his life.
If you have contrary evidence to Buhari's robust legacy in education and industrialisation leading to economic boom, please share.
Thanks.

this USA I think that they want to have indirect rule in Nigeria, may be that's why they are doing so

Teachers Day......But dont teach ur students to be delluded and sentimental when delivery judgement. Dont teach them to go for goose chess. Dont teach them to remove dirty in some one eye while there is a stone in their eyes. Teach them to know their self first before knowing others. Teach them to know and tell the truth always and not been bias like urself. Yes teachers needs to be rewarded but not teachers full of hatred and biasness. Teach them not to betray their brothers because of self aggradizement and greed. Teach them that what so ever a man soweth so shall he reap. Teach them to be good citizens not certified criminals. Yes teach them not to be terrorist or harlots or arm robber. Teach them. Teach them . Teach them the implications of wrong doing. Teach them that homosexuals are breeds of satan and God abhor them. Teach them.... Copy to all teachers in nigeria and the world

The first two examples didn't mention education. Why ignore them?

I am not here to defend Buhari and time will show what he does with the money but we shouldn't criticize the aid as such but watch how it will be invested. We need the money for now.

They were covered in "reward for WORK done and VALUE created" as well as "industrialisation leading to economic boom", not so

Again, Buhari's record in public office is more about-

- state control
- subsidies
- clampdown on education, freedom of expression and liberty.

ingredients for sure failure overall as was the case in 1983-1985.

Somebody should please tell them to pour that money into their already sank economy to see whether they can salvage it. we don't need anything from US.

Reward for work done? What work had Germany done? They were responsible for the WW II, millions of dead people and destruction of countries.
The US knew that it was extremely important to stabilize Germany even though they were the ones to cause the damage all over Europe.

Again, you misunderstand me.
The aids through the Marshall Plan was to pay ORDINARY German people [as opposed to the Third Reich or the German state] for their WORK. I have heard of examples where people dug a trench one day and the next day another set filled it up just to have more money in circulation to stimulate DEMAND that will generate supply and lead to increased PRIDUCTION as factories are revived.

In short, people were not DASHED money simply for being poor.

RaggedyAnn:
It's kind of them to do this despite their $18trillion national debt and all the noise the republicans have been making about the failing economy. I hope POTUS doesn't catch flak over this going into an election year. Of course he would. If it is really as simple as the article presents it. The US wants Nigeria to succeed, eradicate poverty and disease so they give us $2.3b to feed our starving people while 17million starving American children are left to rely on Viola Davis' HungerIs foundation. Really...

They want us to succeed; they wish us good luck. Relationships are quid pro quo, what are we really giving up?

What does a young lady usually give up when a man buys her jewellery?

I wish Nigeria all the best we all need support at times, every country in some way. Just how I live in New Zealand and it govt goes out to strengthen ties with other allies. If it good business, and it will help economical growth I'm all for that

IzonOwei:
can the fools up there who rule us agree to economic and social policies that can alleviate poverty...nigeria will forever remain poor until we either break up into constituents and go our seperate ways or we espouse and uphold meaningful policies that can drive the nation forward... ...you can have ALL the confidence in buhari to manage help from america like a toddler since he is incorruptible(perfect angel from heaven) but that doesn't stop nigeria from retrogressing if it continues to stick to the status quo...

No doubt, the status-quo as regards things like federal character could pass as the greatest recipe for disaster/retrogression. However, I believe Nigeria has taken a single step forward by making attempts to reduce corruption and mismanagement. There are still many steps left to be taken though; for instance, I don't see a Buhari tackling the retrogressive federal character policy (for very obvious reasons), but I would definitely support him in his present efforts (corruption) which is a step in the right direction. I will also pray that whoever takes over after PMB should continue from where he stops and in addition to corruption, also tackle the federal character and federalism issue.

innervoice:


Maybe without the foreign grants the situation would be even worse.

@bold
I don't get what you are trying to say here.

It would have been worse without the aids, and mind you, with the abundance of resources in Africa alone, we can do without their aids. And moreso we should be the one sending out grant had it been we've got leaders that really have the development of the countries in Africa at heart. I'm using Africa instead of Nigeria, cos it's a menace that's common to most African countries. The aids is just like you dining with the devil and in return asks for something more valuable in return.

Terrorist America, go away! We don't want any of your evil money. America is sponsoring Boko Haram!

hmmmm..guy...no matter how much buhari fights corruption we would remain static if states are not allowed to explore their resources and internally generate revenues and jobs to tackle poverty...no matter how much the northerners and partly the south westerners run away from the truth true federalism is the way out..we all need to stop being parasites and look within us that each zone can be great provided we become sensible and think development...for how long do you think the whole agbaya called nigeria can continue to feed on the oil in the Niger delta whilst we have other avenues to become rich and Prosperous as a nation.... buhari should do it...he has if not less than 8 years to accomplish it..If buhari claims to be a progressive and not a bigot let him ensure resource control/true federalism...until then we would be stagnant as a nation...

Like I mentioned earlier, we need to face reality, I don't see a buhari pushing for resource control/true federalism. Even if he tries it, his northern brothers will assassinate him. However, something I know Buhari can do is to drastically reduce the corruption and tradition of looting in higher places and thereby make governance less attractive financially. When that is done, Nigeria will start attracting true patriots as leaders who want to serve and no longer those who just want to be richer. Again when this happens, the question of resource control will definitely resurface. I am only being realistic and supporting Buhari to achieve the bit I know he can definitely achieve for Nigeria (reduce corruption).

Regarding the possibility of true federalism/resource control happening in Nigeria, it is ONLY the NW and NE that are totally against that. The NC only tags along with the rest of the north because the south has never been serious or gotten it's act together to put up a reasonable fight. It is very possible to achieve true federalism in Nigeria but that is only on one condition; that's if the SW, SE and SS put their silly differences aside and unite for this singular purpose. If the south unites and forms a formidable force, I am sure the NC (middle-belt states precisely) will pitch their tent with the south because they also have massive natural resources and are also tired of the hausa-fulani domination over them. But as long as the SW and SE are continually on each other's necks foolishly accusing each other of being the 'problem of Nigeria,' the real problem of Nigeria (the NW & NE) will continue to laugh at us even as they draw everyone backwards.

Nigeria accepting aid in 21 century instead of industries... Pathetic

ok.

In the North, right?

Slowly read your comment and see if it makes sense to you.

So its better the US continues giving us Fish. How then can we develop. We would only turn to beggars and keep carrying our bowls begging for 'Aid'.

Anyone can give us fish as long as we are able to make an impact and better manage that fish. Truth be told,we are not big enough to say $2 billion is small money. It is indeed a lot and for a country with a very low per capita income, we definitely need assistance. Don't let us lie to ourselves!
