Lease new planes and perform routine maintenance with naira?

MARKone:


What ur are saying happened happened since 1966/67, how long will it take us to get our acts right and wise up. The problem is not the British or the Americans, the problem is with us.

naijaboy756:
park well joor. Hand over this country to Ngozi and see thing turn around for good within 6 months. For now, the chief dullard is in charge

NavierStokes:


My brother there is nothing happening today that is any different from what was obtainable in 84 that the man was booted out. IBB and co needed to take the steering from Buhari before he would run over the cliff, it's the same thing today. I recall seeing some funny cartoon image of a man using the same 1983 calendar in 2016.
Different years, same occurrences.

NavierStokes:


My Brother, I am just stating the obvious. Someone needs to collect the steering from this man. Imagine giving your RollsRoyce phantom to a driver who is experienced in driving the old days cadillac, its an hazardous or at-risk scenario.

Must we wait for this old man to complete his mission of destroying Nigeria before sending him back to Daura?

amaechi1:


Your economy is long gone before now. Pity you are just realizing that Nigeria economy was a window dressing. When people were shouting of lack of infrastructure to support the economy, maybe you did not understand.

masseratti:
and after Ibb boted him out, are we in a better state than pre 85?

pinkyliceous:
PMB is mumufied.

Nigerian airlines would have taken advantage of some of these foreign carriers leaving the country, but the domestic airlines are weak.
They only control 10% of the international pax numbers to and fro Nigeria, which is pitiful.

I agree with an airline consultant who advocated for the 9 passenger airlines to be merged into 4 or 5 airlines in order for them to be financially strong.

I'd also call on the FG to set up a Bank of Industry solely for capital-intensive business (i.e. aviation, petroleum, shipping etc) with an initial capital base of N600bn. The bank's interest rates shouldn't be more than 8%. This would enable the airlines source relatively cheap funds to lease new planes and pay for regular maintenance of their aircraft.

Etogist:
I believe what is happening now is an act of God. Buhari is a divine tool being used to accomplish a project. When the project is completed, everyone will go to their various tents rejoicing. There will be no more Boko haram, Fulani herdsmen, NDA, Tribalism, IPOB, Marginalization, Quoter system and Favoritism. Agriculture will flourish, Mineral resources will be developed and every mind will be shifted from oil.

kayalcomp:
I beg, is there nobody in this country to tell Buhari that his economy policy is killing Nigeria economy. Infact everything is costly etc.

Michael333:

Buhari has finished Nigeria. He is just doing trial and error with his policies.

That's what u get wen an illiterate is president

Nigerians weren't queuing for essentials until the return of the boy from daura, who is working very hard to replicate the same scenarios that saw him being booted out of power.
There was an emerging middle class from the period of 1999, but within one year the system is being restructured into the rich and the poor, where poor comes in 3 categories.

romeoenus:
Abeg when will they leave? they have cheated Nigerians for too long.

plaetton:


Make your point, and stop the silly ad hominem attack.

masseratti:
the economy didn't go bad under a year,the naira fell from 200 naira to 260 under one month under Gej,corruption under Shagari also brought the naira to its knee, that was the period most companies in Nigeria failed, oil price went down then,everything was imported into the country, what gave ibb administration more money to spend was the gulf war,which led to the increase in production, and price of oil,if we don't do things right,now,we are doomed,apart of buhari ways the alternative is what Ibb did,which led us to where we are now,question is should we repeat Ibb's method.

erico2k2:

To be honest we should stop using cost of crude as excuse. Today oil sells for above $50.it's getting better.
Besides the fall of crude meant most countries had cheap petrol but nahh not Nigeria
And without subsidy I'm trying to see where anyone is going to import frm at less than N200
