Peter Obi, former governor of Anambra state says Nigeria is a knocked Vehicle and the attention should be on fixing the engine, not changing the drivers of the economy.

Obi also said 2017 may not be better than 2016, if the country continues addressing the current economic situation, the same way it would address a robust economy.

“For me, I dont think (the economy will be better in 2017) because I have not seen the attention that is required for the situation we find ourselves,” Obi told CNBC Africa.

“Where we are now is like having a car with which has an engine knock, and we are still busy talking about changing the driver. There is no engine in place; even if you bring in the best driver in the world, he is not going to move the car.

“We need to talk about how do we fix the engine of this vehicle, and that engine is the economy. Until we fix it, then we can talk about the driver, whether there is a good driver or bad driver.”

He called on leaders in the country to bury their political divides and deal with the country’s crisis as a survival strategy.

“Considering where we are, we need to have in all these sectors, crisis manager to deal with the situation, We need to pull everybody together, its no longer a party matter, it is no longer a political matter, it is a survival matter.

“It’s not time to trade blames, it’s not time to trade blames, its not time to dwell in yesterday. If you look at our headlines in our newspapers, the quality of discourse is low, we are still chasing shadows.

He said the economy and the security of Nigerians should be at the top of national discourse.

Obi added that Nigeria is a country that would double her population in 30 years, and nobody is thinking of how to prepare for tomorrow.

We need to repair the vehicle and change the driver .. How could he be so careless in maintaining the vehicle He will surely ruin the new vehicle too...

What the car (Nigeria) needs is an good driver with a background of an experienced mechanic.
After all many of the drivers in Nigeria were once mechanics!
..sadly (We) the passages nor the car can be replaced

we need a modernized brand new car .


new need to repair 2 stroke engine's . get rid off

I applaud Obi's analysis on using "a Knocked Vehicle" to describe Nigeria's current socio-economic condition.

But....

- A knocked engine would certainly require a sound knowledgeable driver to realize the car's actually grounded in the first place.

- In this case the driver seem to have minute or no knowledge about the architecture of a car, not to talk of the complexities of it's engine.

- Moreover, effectively Fixing a knocked engine would still be dependent or re-routed on the intuition, shrewdness and action of the Leader.

- Chinua Achebe was indeed right when he noted the main problem of Nigeria and many third world countries in his short epic prose "The trouble with Nigeria" as LEADERSHIP

- I rest my case.

No, let us go and find different vehicles, being in one vehicle has become too stuffy (disintegration)

sarcasm at its finest

.

When you see Politicians speaking in tongues, just know that Electioneering is around the corner.

Anambra Governorship Election loading......

What a quote!

Chai....bubu

Let's kuku dismantle the vehicle

It's high time, I see it coming

Fact

Why handover a Range Rover vehicle to a motorcyclist? He'll sure knock it's engine off cos he lacks the necessary knowledge of driving.

Shataaaaaaap! Na all of una do us this strong thing

fact!

Hahaha.

Chop and wipe mouth. They should share the remaining money in that reserves to all citizens jor, let's get our share

Says one of those who knocked it

All of you contributed in either stealing the engine,refusing to maintain and lubricate it or intentionally driving the engine beyond its carrying capacity and performance.

there was a country
