Nigeria's economy is not on a downward spiral, i can liking what is happening on a micro economic level to a household where though a father gives his children their allowance, he leaves his briefcase carelessly in the house. With a false sense of ecomy the children kept embarking on spending spree buying all sorts of frivolity. Once this father realises his folly the children's economy returns to what we have now.
It is my belief that the prudence of PMB for now is what we are feeling, slush funds are no longer flying around looking for avenues to hide like real estate, hence the lull in that sector and most luxury market. All talk of a rebased economy before now was sham, Nigerians should be grateful that PMB came on board at a time like this to curb excesses, the economy would ve collapsed under Gej. Thank god we are not in recession, i believe that we would get through this. Even though the president may not be perfect, i can see he is sincere

My friend, you have spoken well. Nigeria disease is called 200 millions mumu, as in MUMUISM led by MUHAMMADU Daura cow baba.

Buhari is a BORN TO RULE FULANI MAN with entitlement mentality.

Buhari unfortunately for this country, is an analogue phone in a smartphone era.

Rearing cow and selling the same is different from running a large economy like Nigeria.

He only became President because of Religion, Region and Tribalism.
He only became President because a regional party (Acn) just wanted to see what it feels like to be at the centre and call the shots. But unfortunately they were schemed out of all spheres of influence at the national level by the Fulanis. Now we are left with this.

ochejoseph:

ABUJA – ‎A coalition of over 60 Civil Society Organisations, CSOs, in Nigeria, yesterday, decried what they termed “steady and continuous decline of the Nigerian economy” under the watch of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The groups, at a strategy meeting they held in Abuja yesterday under the aegis of ‎Nigeria Civil Society Situation Room, said there was urgent need for President Buhari to evolve a sustainable economic plan that will attract foreign investors into ‎the country.
‎The leader of the coalition and Executive Director of Policy and Legal Advocacy Center, PLAC, Mr. Clement Nwankwo, in his opening remarks, said the “dwindling economic fortunes of Nigeria” could be a function of the inability of President Buhari to appoint his Ministers six months after he assumed office.
He said: “The major challenge we are currently facing is that we cannot see the urgency of ‎this administration to improve the situation. It was unfortunate that after the six months that it took to come up with list of proposed Ministers, those we saw are those that have always been around the hood.
“Why it took so long to forward their names to the National Assembly is quite a puzzle to us.
“Why Ministers who have been cleared have not been sworn in is also a puzzle to us. We are almost in the first week of November. The laws are clear that government should have submitted its budget projections for 2016 by now.
“We would have thought that Ministers would have been around to help finalise budget for presentation to the National Assembly.
“Everyday we hear on social media that some people have returned money they stole from the treasury. The government should do well by telling us who they are, the amount returned and since the money is unanticipated, we should be told what it will be used for.
“So much information and misinformation is a major worry for us. We are desperately concerned to see the government begin to function”.
Nwankwo also faulted the current foreign exchange regime operating in the country, saying, “person who is attune with modern day economics cannot recommend such”.
According to him, “We want to see change reflect in proper und‎erstanding of the Nigerian economy”.
Likewise, the Chief Executive Officer of Economic Associates, Dr. Ayo Teriba, in a paper entitled ‘Towards a Policy Framework For Economic Inclusion in Nigeria”, noted that President Buhari inherited so many economic problems from the past administration.
He however maintained that “this regime should do quick, wake up and address the problems”.
He said: “Using six months just to share portfolios is not how to go about it. ‎Currently, there is fiscal disconnect. The revenue of the government has declined, relative to the Gross Domestic Product.
“Nigeria has the highest economy, yet the lowest revenue. The revenue has steadily declined. The revenue to GDP in 2014 was 11%, while 25% is what non oil producing economies like South Africa, Egypt ‎ and Morocco, have. Other countries like Angola and Algeria that have oil, have higher revenue level of 33%.
“Nigeria should have about 40% like it use to have in 2004. The reason for the decline is not that revenue are not collected, but the leak-out from ‎government processes, e.g, crude oil theft, subsidy fraud, wide spread abuse of administration of import duty and tax waivers, abuses by autonomous income revenue collecting agencies that spend what they collect as they wish, only remitting about 80% to the Federal Government.
“There is also the issue of sectorial ‎and regional exclusion. We currently have one of the worst unemployment rate in Africa. Our economy today compared to 1960 is weaker. Nigeria needs an orderly plan to raise revenue. There is need for this administration to not only stop the leakages, but to also institute periodic watch on impact of fiscal reforms on revenue inflows.
“The new regime should have told us the situation they met at least by May, and what has changed within the first quarter since it took over. It should tell us if there is no more crude oil theft.
“Currently Nigeria has not been attracting foreign investment, we urge this administration to make the economy more attractive. Steady currency regime is required to spur growth”, he added.
‎Aside PLAC, other members of the Situation Room that met in Abuja yesterday included CLEEN Foundation, Action Aid Nigeria, Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD), Enough is Enough Nigeria, Wangonet, Partners for Electoral Reform, JDPC and Youth Initiative for Advocacy, Growth & Advancement (YIAGA), CWAE. Others are Development Dynamics,Human Rights Monitor, Election Monitor, Reclaim Naija, Institute for Human Rights and Humanitarian Law, Centre LSD, CITAD, Stakeholder Democracy Network (SDN), CISLAC, WREP and Proactive Gender Initiative, among others.

Was the economy doing well before? past administration only rebased it on paper which does not reflect on citizens standard of living. Where do you even expect the economy to head with the monumental corruption recorded in the past administration. One thing at a time, the President has blocked all those loopholes and looted funds are being returned presently, once everything takes it shape and the cabinet is set up, economy would improve effortlessly.

I wonder the impression this man creates to the world about nigeria. Goes about making mouth from Nigeria to Mumbai, london, etc

Incoherent speeches, no road-map, depends on aides who are not professionals but mere political goons.

Advanced countries of the world will be mocking us secretly, nothing seems to be working in the name of fighting corruption.

This is what we get when we succumb and make decisions based on a skilfully sold propaganda where an old man who couldn't spend time acquiring further education aside secondary school papers can now appoint a SAN as a minister after being delayed for 6 months.

All these time wasting won't prevent the type of corruption entrenched in the fabric of this country. A thief will always steal as soon as the opportunity presents itself.

The CBN head is having a free-hand dishing out policies with the experience of managing a local bank. No check. No critical examination. Just roll 'em out sad

[b][size=13pt]What economy is crashing? Like seriously?

Babe i am not sure you have been listening or reading the news lately?

You pointed out that no funds have been released since the inauguration of this government... Chai you fall my hand. Where did you think the government got the money to bail out the states that were owing its workers? The inauguration ceremony? The independent day celebration? The day to day running of the government?.... it's OK to be ignorant and keep it to yourself than come out in public to disgrace yourself.

Do you even know the meaning of running a government in auto pilot...the running of a government without ministers is a clear definition and example of that word.

Is there a difference between Ameachi and Deizani? both of them face Corruption "allegations", both of them have not been found guilty by any court for their crime, none of them is in jail...the only difference is that one is on a sick bed with cancer while the other is now a Minister. Welcome to Nigerian politics... Don't kill yourself. [/b][/size]

I weep for the country. Buhari was the best man for the job during the last election.
There was no doubt about it.
From my abode that morning, I jumped for joy as I sang d national anthem with INEC on TV as the old General was declared.

I said to myself, welcome to a new Nigeria.

Fast forward to now, its not just appalling, its disappointing, its shameful.
Buhari has been more than useless, to imagine this was the first president I ever prayed for in my life. I believed so much in him but not now. He is a disgrace, and has betrayed all those who trusted him.

Don't quote me and say I shouldn't be insulting adults or d president.
Cos if obasanjo was called all sorts, GEJ was labelled anyhow, nothing stops us from tagging PMB as deserved.

Let's leave trabalism or politics out. Buhari so far has Failed!

Two questions for Mr. Photography President.

1) If you appoint me for a position and I take 6months like u have taken to set up my cabinet with no immediate momemtum and/or result, won't you boot me out?

2) We know Nigeria was really messed up before you came in, but we expected that you Mr. President knew that but when you know you couldnt perform, why did you force yourself on us?

Yes you forced yourself when you kept coming out and even cried on national TV when you last lost.

My pain, anger and worry is, if d election was to take place again, I will still go for you Mr. Retired General despite how old and useless you have proven to be, so the question is, which way Nigeria? cry shey none of us get sense ni? Haba mana!

You do realize it takes an upward of 50 years and even more to completely diversify an economy right.

Truth is we've dug in our hills and now we are stuck in this mess. So quit bleating and deal with it.

Oil is our mainstay, but, sadly, even that is not being adequately harnessed. For instance, we are still flaring gas despite that we cannot meet local and international demands.

So get our economy off oil Buhari.

After all, it is because we are sooooooo dependent on oil that we are in the state we are in.

If every state,including oil producing states, evolved an economic plan that would enable them develop industries based on what they have in their states, within ten years we would be off oil and we would be on the way to becoming a developed nation.

Until Nigerians stop thinking that oil would save us.....especially now that oil price is falling, and America is almost self sufficient in oil.....we will forever remain backward, together or apart. And when the oil runs out.....we will be back to the stone age.

Nigerians, oil is a curse. It can never be a blessing.....something that prevents you from using your hands to make the things that you waste money importing.....making millions jobless.

MODIFIED: Here is what needs to be done

1)Remove all subsides

2)End corruption. Recover all stolen monies.....even going back to 1960 if need be

3).Savings, savings.

4)Spend money on power, mass transport, and education/science and tech.

And agriculture

It didn't start today, even in 1984.

Insurmountable economic problems plagued the Buhari regime as petroleum prices collapsed in the face of expanding foreign debt. Buhari instituted austerity measures that caused severe hardship to the average Nigerian. In addition, political corruption continued unabated, with politicians escaping to Western countries with millions of dollars in government money. In an effort to stop dissension, Buhari instituted restrictions on the press, political freedoms, and trade unionists. By August 1985 even the military had had enough, and Ibrahim Babangida took control of the government. Buhari was detained in Benin City but was released at the end of 1988.
